I'm new to both Mulab and this forum, so please forgive me if this has been asked before.
When you open a (third party) VST plug-in synth in Mulab, the display window for the synth is really tiny. Is it possible to change (enlarge) the size of the VST plug-in window, i.e. where all the parameters and such are fiddled with.
Thank you!!

And you're welcome.
To have the ability to resize a VST panel, yes Harry is perfectly right. There are two possibilities, but both are coded at the VST's side, not at the DAW's side. They are:
To have the ability to resize a VST panel, yes Harry is perfectly right. There are two possibilities, but both are coded at the VST's side, not at the DAW's side. They are:
- The VST contains several fixed-size bitmap GUI's, and you choose among these available sizes (it remains for the moment the case of 99% of the plugins).
- The VST GUI is coded in vectorial and you adjust your size by drag-dropping the bottom right corner as any other Windows, Linux or OSX file-browser window (it remains for the moment the case of less than 1% of the plugins, among them the most recent plugins from TAL and DiscoDSP for example)

So, basically, if the VST window within Mulab lacks the bottom-right-corner click-drag adjustment + the manual mentions nothing about GUI/window size, I'm stuck squinting at tininess. Nerts.
But thanks for your responses, anyway.

Generally the plugins having a vectorial GUI have also a menu (or a button) to choose a size or at least to come back to the default size.
- Example in TAL-Bassline-101, TAL-Sampler, and TAL-U-NO-LX: Menu Startup, then "Restore original-plug-in size".
- Example in DiscoDSP Bliss: Menu, then sub-menu "Interface" then the choice between [60%, 80%, 100%, 150%, 200%] in the group "Interface scaling".
- Example in DiscoDSP Corona: Menu, then sub-menu "GUI Size" then the choice between [75%, 100%, 150%, 200%].
- Example in DiscoDSP DiscoveryPro: Menu, then sub-menu "GUI Size" then the choice between [1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x].
- Even DiscoDSP OBXD (which doesn't have a vectorial GUI) embeds several skins which have not the same size. Some are narrow and some are wide.
- Same thing for the very complex synth ME80 from Gunnare Ekornas. It does not have a vectorial GUI, but it offers two sizes, one at 100% and the other (it is simply another DLL provided to the purchaser in the same single pack, you don't pay twice) at 200%.

As a last resort (particularly with old VSTs) are utility apps that enable quick toggling among different display resolutions.
