How to set all project all Kontakt Gui scale's at the same zoom size?

Don't know why, but on my 43 inch 4k Monitor every kontakt Gui size that whas 150% before seems to be a lot bigger as before, I didn't change the monitor settings?
However, I have to set everey track, in every project to 100% and click on "set view settings as default" But only that single track will change to 100% view.
I have to do this with every track, Is ther a way, to set all my tracks, for all my projects at 100% and make that my global scale size please?

I believe sizes could be different across the board. V6 had no scaling capability whereas V7 did as does v8.

Again - I still believe this is Cubase doing what it's doing - as it has a number of different window positions and sizing capability - and has little to do with any specific plugin.

In an effort to be respectful - if you want any success here whatsoever - pretty much all software - even today - specifically for PC and Windows 10/11 is designed for Standard HD.

4K is not yet a widespread option and this condition just gets worse if your software was current in the distant past like Kontakt 7

I fully realize this is not optimal in your case but everything is usually bang on perfect with standard HD/no scaling on Windows 11.

Thanks for your reaction, I only provided the monitor size to be as complete as possible.
But my question remains the same, Is there a way to make the kantakt Gui for all tracks the same size?
At this moment it seems like everythings is standard set to a 150% scaling.

I do not have any 4K monitor to test with so this is just suggestions for something to also check..

But you could test with altering the settings using the standalone app version before using in a DAW… Also I don't know if the standalone interface settings in options possibly have any influence on settings response…

Otherwise then zoom is related to Windows scaling and HDPI settings.

I don't think there is a way to do that for all existing tracks in one go. However, once you set a specific zoom setting as default, any newly made instances of Kontakt should be at that zoom level - even in new projects.

As others have noted - no way to do this that I know of.

With Windows scaling at 100% and resolution @ 1920x1080 - no issues here.

Thanks, for the reactions, I understand its not gonna work with a 4k monitor.
I assumed that clicking on default, after a certain zoom setting, would simply hold that setting regardless
of what monitor type you use.

Could it be something else please?
When opening one project in Cubase 14 pro, the size of Kontakt 7 gui / window varies greatly between other projects. The zoom / view settings are in all projects the same ( All 150% view/zoom) but the actual size of the kontakt 7 windows varies enormously….
What could be the cause of this please? Still my 4k monitor? I didn't have this problem before

Generally - the DAW and OS control windows sizes - this has little to do with Kontakt.

Kontakt is running INSIDE the DAW and I do not think it has any ability to resize itself inside Cubase - unless you have done something to change that.

I know over here in Studio One - ALL window sizes, positions etc are saved within the .song file - so I decide to make a plugin huge (if it is possible to do so) - and save my track and close S1 - and then come back the next day - open the track - the plugin is huge and in the same spot as it was when last saved.

Your best "first" test - is start a new empty project and add a single instance of Kontakt to it. Whatever size it is at this point is default.

And finally - never trust Windows scaling either. I have seen it behave one minute and go crazy the next - all with no rhyme or reason. 100% scaling is the only way to guarantee a solid default position.

You may need to contact Steinberg and ask them what is going on as I think this goes beyond NI support.

Thanks Vocalpoint.
Could the difference in size of the kontakt instrument Gui be due to the version of Kontakt, that the songs/projects were originally created with?
Projects that were made with kontakt 6 ( in 2022), do have a smaller Kontakt 7 window, on 100% view as
Projects that were originally made with Kontakt 7. (I removed Kontakt 6 from my computer last week)

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it very much.
I will submit this problem on the Steinberg Forum and get back when I have more clarity.

Theo van de Ven

As you indicated, the scaling issues mentioned, do indeed appear to be due to the 4K monitor.
Onlu one reaction on the Steinberg forum, but a clear one; "4K and scaling is a dog’s breakfast"
Learned something new in my old age…

Thanks again everyone.😉,
