Just settling into sequencing again. I spent some time figuring which Synth was going to serve me well and settled on Pigments by Arturia, which I'd been testing on a Mac (all was good). I just bought it and installed it on a Windows laptop (Dell), and the interface is resized such that it's smaller than the window it opens into. The cursor input, however, is mapped to the size of the actual window, rather than the GUI, so there's no way to use the synth as one would have to ignore the GUI and try to guess where the actual controls are. Is there anything in Waveform's settings that might resolve this? I'm still getting used to this version of the sequencer, having been a Tracktion bod a long time ago.
Edit, I forgot to say this is in Windows 10.
OK, so I had the windows scaling set to 125%, it would seem that Pigments doesn't change GUI size in accordance with Windows scaling settings whereas Waveform does.
I'm surprised I didn't see this mentioned on the long Pigments thread in the instruments section of the forum.
Pigments VST GUI is incorrect size and doesn't map to cursor input in Waveform 11

I've just had my laptop replaced under warranty and the screen has been upgraded (well, that depends on your preferences) from FHD to UHD, and so now I'm having to run Windows 10 at 200% scaling.
Of course I'm back to square one when it comes to the Pigments GUI and the scaling problem... it would seem Pigments is not usable on this machine inside Waveform since the GUI is drawn at a quarter the size of the window, whilst the controls respond at the real size, i.e. the visuals of the GUI don't map to the actually control coordinates.
I've had a quick try with some plugins from other companies, Falcon and some Plugin Alliance stuff, and they all seem to work OK, so so far it's just Pigments. I guess I should be contacting Arturia.

I found the solution in the 'Problem Plugins' thread, right-clicking the filter and clicking 'enable DPI awareness'. That's a relief.
