Reszie or Scale Kontakt Instrument Editor

Hi,

Is it possible to scale the Kontakt instrument editor? Using Kontakt on 4K+ resolution screens is almost impossible, given how small it is.

Appologies, I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I've never found a resolution to it. If its not possible now, is a scaleable UI, even fixed scalling options, on the roadmap?

No need to apologize; you've every right to ask the question(s)!

The short answer is no, but it depends on a few things.

If you're using Kontakt 6 and 7… no.

If you're using Kontakt 8 you are able to switch between a variety of fixed zoom levels, from 50% to 200%.

For instance, I'm on a 5k and 4k monitor and have just zoomed Kontakt 8 to 200% to verify.

The catch: the Edit View is not fully high resolution yet, so it's functional but won't look quite as good at higher zooms, and you can't Click+Drag to Scale.
