I’m not interested in upgrading komplete until Kontakt has a resizable UI. It’s crazy trying to use thousands of pounds of sample library via a postage stamp interface.

Are you safe?

Even though Kontakt would be resizable, it wouldn't affect the libraries themselves, until the developer of the library updates it. So we will probably see the same "slowness" from the developers as we see from the VST plugin developers, especially when it comes to already released libraries.

Like Massive X was delayed and they still can't get it right 🥳

Could just include a 200% pixel doubling option, won’t look great but at least gives those of us without 20:20 vision a better chance to use it.

Desperately need this for old spitfire audio libraries.

People would complain that it looks ridiculous.

but it already is ridiculous - Hard to believe NI hasn't made it resizable yet. Talk about being WAY behind.

Based on the recent aggressive sales on KOMPLETE Classics Collection bundle (Massive, FM8, Absynth 5) on Plugin Boutique, I am getting a feeling that we may see upgrades to Massive, FM8 and Absynth 5 (and hopefully Battery too) in Komplete 14. If they do want to support them and add VST3 format, it makes sense to add GUI scalability and other updates along with. This will entice people to upgrade to at least the standard version of Komplete. Let's see.

Anyone noticed that redesigned interface of VC 160 shown on PA web page?
Sorry if it's been here already

It's way more complex than with your average Joe plugin.

I noticed that too. Hopefully the transition to a flatter design mean resizeable UIs are on the way. That'd be amazing for kontakt, but as developers libraries use bitmaps I dont know how that'd work.

That looks like some of the more recent NI GUIs...could be something to that.

Yes, that "transition to flatter design", can't wait. Damn those pesky affordances. Who needs to know what is and isn't clickable until AFTER you've moused over it anyway?
Flat design is bad design. You can resize Sylenth1 (for example) to any size you like - I have a 4K screen and can make it as big as the screen, and it's perfectly sharp every time, no matter what size I use. We don't need 'flat design', thank you. If I wanted to use a crap interface, I'd go back to DOS on a 640 a 480 four colour screen.
