It occurred to open one of those very old NI instruments that I hadn’t touched in years, in this case, Reaktor 6. So upon creating the instrument track, I see this:
That’s just completely useless, unless you don’t want to modify any parameter. The standalone version opens at twice the size, which is barely usable, but the VST version is impossible to read anything except Reaktor and Carbon2.
Beside the obvious workaround of setting the Windows DPI scaling to 200% to emulate a 1080p monitor, which is ridiculous in 2025, is there any way to force VST3 plugins to show at a higher zoom in Cubase?
(These old Reaktor Ensemble are from 15 to 20 years ago, where screen resolution was a lot lower, and they simply haven’t been updated to modern standards.)
Yeah, as usual, Native Instruments keeps staying in the past and relishing on it. What’s really pathetic is that they don’t even allow the plugin to comply with the general Windows DPI scaling. I set my 3rd monitor to the maximum allowed, which is 350%, and look at this:
What kind of pathetic joke is this? The only way to be able to make it larger is not by zooming the display, but by setting it to 1080p. Really pathetic. And I get what you mean by old plugins, but this is Reaktor 6, not 5. I would forgive it from version 5, but 6 is the current version, and is sold as part of Komplete 15. So what do they think they’re doing? This is not 2015, it’s 2025. Everybody has 4k monitors.
