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.

i use this:

works very well. the only thing i don't like is not being able to mouse to my other screen while zoomed in

The magnifiying tool under Windows doesn't suffice?

it sux, reorganizes icons and does other weird shit to your desktop

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.

there are zoom settings in the preferences (Look / Feel tab)

also.. please change your sig. it's too huge.

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.

it's working..
now make your sig. smaller...
also... you're welcome

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.

PlugFuncs from NativeKontrol has 8 functions that you’re able to assign your own hotkeys
to via an easy to use GUI editor.

Show/Open or Hide Plugin Windows (not compatible with Live 8’s new zoom feature)
Auto-Arrange Visible Plugin Windows
Kill Visible Plugin Windows
Cycle Through Visible Plugin Windows
Adjust Transparency for Selected Plugin Window
Resize Selected Plugin Window
Crop Selected Plugin Window
Toggle AlwaysOnTop for Selected Plugin Window.

Does anyone know if NI plans to update this issue soon with any of it's VSTs? Maschine is unuseably small on my 4k Screen
