FM8 size GUI

Scott Frost

Thanks for updating FM8 for M1 compatibility/

Now could you please add an option to double the size of it? I can barely see it on my M1 Macbook Pro.

Scalable GUI is a high-requested feature, but most likely won't be implemented on aging products like FM8. At least not anytime soon, sorry!

I wonder if it is possible to replace the graphics with higher res versions?

You still sell this "aging product" for € 149.- in 2023, calling it a "contemporary classic". Clearly not "contemporary" enough though, when displays and resolutions are so big and high, that I actually can't see some parts of the interface on my 33" 4k monitor, without bringing out my reading glasses.

To be honest, this answer ("highly requested" but "won't be implemented" because "aging") makes me somehow regret that I bought this software.

Maybe you should change the text on the FM8 website to "Not so contemporary classic, not going to get highly-requested updates because it's to old but you can still throw you money at us!"

Agreed with sofastar. Still selling a product that is too old to be seen properly on next gen hardware compared to when this was released is like selling a phone without a charger. Please update this to where we can change the image scale. This is a great synth and it would be great to be able to see what we're doing.

Please update the GUI. FM sounds are super common in bass music and this synth needs to be resizeable.

well....that issue brought me here, as I thought I must be doing something wrong...can't resize the GUI...

and literally, I cannot use this instrument at all, because it is so tiny...

So I know the answer now:/...

sad...I thought I will be able to use this product, as I do like FM synthesis...

NI, come on...

Maybe we should create a global request to let them understand that FM8, Massive plugins are important (although obsolete for them) to be adapted with today requirements as it is still sold as new product. They should be able to update this part, which is not a big issue for programmers/developers.

It is like selling eggs... some are fresh some very old and hidden among the fresh ones in the same basket.

We are hundreds, even thousands of users who would like to use these plugins.

If they are obsolete it would be better to remove them from the catalogue. this to avoid misinterpretation.

Customers first😉

I'll pile onto this thread as well. I recently revisited some of my favorite presets in FM8, Massive (the original, not Massive X), and Absynth. These synths are just as relevant today with their quality, versatility, etc. I'd love to see all three have a GUI scaling feature.
