Are there any plans to add support for 4K displays in Kontakt?

Hi--

I'm learning how to make music with Reaper and Komplete, on a 4K display. Kontakt is so tiny that I can't actually use it. Example screenshot provided below.

A quick search shows that NI is aware of this issue, but I wanted to know if there's any information about whether or not it will be addressed, and when.

Thanks!

Information is same as always... It is acknowledged as in need of revamping (like all their GUIs), Possibly one day (there has never been a guarantee of it), unsure as to when exactly so any time from tomorrow till the end of time at a guess.

That's about as much as anyone has been able to gather.

Exactly as above.

For the time being I would definitely suggest not using Kontakt with 4K monitors, have a secondary 1080p monitor if at all possible.

And If it's unacceptable to run a 1080p display anywhere on the system, like in my case, you'll have to bite the bullet and simply stop using / spending money on NI products until they are sufficiently compatible with your system. For example when Komplete 14 rolls around this should be a very important if not the most important deciding factor for purchase IMO.

I won't stop dreaming though... at some point there's hopefully a true Kontakt competitor both in terms of features but also content and I won't have to keep pestering NI with stuff they don't seem to care about enough to make it a real, must-have priority.

For now that future has not come to pass yet. But who knows.

I know I sound bitter but at this point (5 years into exclusively using HiDPI displays and reading the same kick the can down the road response everytime) it's very hard not to.
