in Komplete Kontrol

Been finding issues using a variety of NKS VSTi's and the drawing of their GUI when loaded in Komplete Kontrol. Not only are Diva and Hive from Uhe an issue but also a variety of Native Instruments VSTi synths are exhibiting the same issue. See attached images for an example.

They display fine in Standalone mode of Komplete Kontrol. It has something to do with Windows Scaling which I have at 150% on a 32Inch 4K monitor.

Using a AMD 7900XT GPU and this has been replicated on my Windows Tablet / Laptop system which has AMD integrated GPU. Both systems running Windows 11

    This is well documented in tons of threads in here.

    Generally NI products are designed for Standard HD with no scaling in Windows.

    So if you are running in any resolution that is not HD and/or scaling - expect issues.

    I did see one thread a while back where a user did something to an app shortcut and managed to get the scaling squared around. It may have been Maschine 3 software thread I think. Not sure if that applies in this case.

    You will need to do some searching for that.

    Yeah, well welcome to 2025 - try using software at 100% scaling on UHD or greater displays. Time to move beyond the 90's. It seems more like an issue NI devoting resources to upgrading UI's on older VSTi's

    In the case of Diva and Hive from Uhe - these are reasonably recent and well supported VSTi's.

    Easy solution - I'll remove what doesn't work and the Uhe instruments I'll run outside of KK with their CLAP versions. Think only the more recent NI instruments I'll bother with and Kontakt based ones.

    Thanks anyway for your comment.

    Hey - I get it.

    But for many developers - fancy UHD displays and 4K resolution is simply not a thing. They build to the lowest common denominator so as to maximize sales potential and ensure solid "general" support capability - aimed squarely at the other 95% of us who do not have such a screen
