Is there any practical way to zoom opened vst windows?

Post by prprprpr » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:06 pm

The knobs are too small and I can't find any way to zoom them in. So was wondering if it's really possible that there is no way to make them bigger without buying new monitor or changing resolution of screen.

The magnifiying tool under Windows doesn't suffice?

In OSX there is a setting for people with eye issues that allows you to zoom in the entire screen, there has to be something similar in Windows. I would suggest looking at the built in tools for people with disabilities. I always make the zoom active in OSX for this very reason, small plug in windows etc.

This didnt work for VSTIs. I set this to 112%, to be able to work with Live, but cant work well with Absynth or Albino.
A smaler resolution in Windows looks bad and i dont have enougth room for a secound Monitor, with smal resolution for VSTs.

Handle this problem with Software would be nice.

The support for VST's resize must be provided by its developer, and it's not easy that's why is quite uncommon. Some of them have size setting (u-he), valhalla DSP and aalto plugs are some of the few I know can be resized.
