I had no idea that the Maschine (the DAW) had such a small font - how do I make the font bigger?

KidMerlyn · 2022-05-04T03:52:34+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have pretty bad eyesight and I cant read the font on my laptop monitor (17" so not tiny) I need to be able to change the font size. If there is no way to I'm going to either have to buy an obscenely large (and expensive - so not happening) Monitor and rearrange my studio with no real space on my table (again a pipe dream) or return my mikro and A49 to amazon and I really don't want to do that. I didn't find it in the settings anywhere, please help me .

I also would like to change the font in Traktor on the collection view but that is still readable for me.

on windows display settings you can set the scaling to your needs.

not in the plugin itself.

I'm just here to say I hope NI updates the resolution of their software, the pixelation on text is distracting on high resolution displays :(

I thought this post was actually about that until I came inside and read

There's no option to change the font.

I also find it a bit hard to read and my eyesight is OK, OS scaling can help but will make everything on your computer bigger and take more space, this is what I do but the MAS/KK text will be pixelated... So no ideal option, you have to pick between tiny or bigger but pixelated.

There's is a hacky way to do it:

but kind of annoying to do in Windows.

Your general computer settings should allow you to do that.

No, you need to visit an optician who will assist you in correcting your eyesight. :-)

Native Instruments should not have to modify their software because you can't see properly!

Hey brother, I really appreciate this "hack"✌️ It's easy if you follow your instruction

Standalone top, Logic Pro also top, only Ableton is more Diva than Mac *lol*

Ableton: my question is if it works without XCode via the terminal command?

AFAIK No, Ableton decided to check if plugins are codesigned for some stupid reason, so if you modify a plug then you need to codesign it. 🤷‍♂️ No sure if you need the full XCode or just the command line tools tho

Ableton has released an update (11.2)

AUv3 have been included and the adapted KK skin is callable. That should be enough for now to take advantage ;-)

Note that KK is not AU v3 afaik, it's v2 and that version does not have MIDI Out from the plug. Most people probably don't need MIDI-Out from KK but its worth mentioning.

I had not thought of that...for my simple application it is okay
