Same pixelated fonts. Unbelievable.

    What makes you think so?

    I looked carefully at the screenshots that management posted.

    But hope I'm wrong!

    You looked at a screenshot which was sized and compressed to fit a forum post, and concluded from that. Seriously?

    For all we know, and how little we’ve seen, this might even be a concept screen made in photoshop…

    Probably the same issue as Traktor, they need to upgrade/switch the UI framework. They would probably have announced that.

    Hummm… Pic is 1mb 3000x1875, 300dpi…. I am not expert but that's pretty decent quality so he might have a point; what we don't know is if that screenshot is from a final product or not… so it still proves nothing, for the moment. I'd save my judgement for the release day

    I hope they give us the option of using the V2 gui. I don't mind dark, but not to the point where all delineation is lost between sections/borders/spaces. I think this is much too far :(

    ******… oh, it‘s clickable… I originally just zoomed in on the preview image on my phone 😂

    But 300 dpi… seems to be blown up in resolution for the print media. The resolution of the original image seems lower. If you zoom in, none of the lines are sharp — it’s blurred everywhere. And stuff doesn’t align properly, like colours bleeding into separation lines. Also, there are compression artifacts although its a PNG. Don’t know. Looks more like a mock up to me anyway.

    I hope so, because it doesn’t appeal to me … at all.

    The DPI might not be exact, screenshots are affected by OS scaling choices and whatnot, the forum also has a size limit and auto resizes when you go above it, I dont remember what the limit actually is but i think at least some of the blurring is a result of that resizing… Or it could be a mockup, who knows…. hence saving the judgment.

    I just checked the new 3.0 on my 4K screen and is definitely not retina. I don't understand why NI didn't use the renewal of the UI to create it in hires. It's all vectors anyway when you design it. @Kai_NI, can you maybe shine a light on this. the new 3.0 update is really great but this feels like a missed chance.

    I hear you @D-One it's indeed mostly a refresh, I also barely saw the differences. But still, when changing icons and colours you must have the vector files at hand so export them to hires I would say

    I wish, thats not how it works, if it was that simple even I could do it, trust me, I made this.

    Maschine 2 current version actually has 2x larger bitmaps in the assets, but was never implemented fully, Maschine v3 does not, this means they abandoned whatever experimental ideia they had and are moving towards another solution.
