Instrument size / screen resolution??

[arsis]

First... Can the virtual instruments (Wavestation) be resized?
Other elements like the grid settings are just microscopic.
I have a 17" 4k display on my laptop. What resolution do other old guys recommend?
I can see most things just fine but other things seem ridiculously tiny.

Korg just put out a V2 update to their collection and now the UI on the Wavestation (and most others in the collection) is resizable. I have a 4k laptop display and set the resolution in the Display Settings to HD (1920x1080). Everything in 4k on the laptop is too small, not just DP. If you're running DP10 you can also scale DP using ctrl = to increase and ctrl - to shrink.

Re the Korg upgade, even though this link is to a Mac thread you can find good information here if you haven't already upgraded to the Korg ID and Korg Software Pass. Starts about half way down the first page viewtopic.php?f=26&t=67330

Thanks. Yes, I'm running DP 10 and use the scaling often but it doesn't affect things like Ample Guitar etc. I guess I just need a bigger screen.
The weird thing is that when I switched to anything other than 3840×2160 nothing fills the screen when I maximize. Not even my browser. But I may just need to reboot.

Not sure what might be going on with the laptop panel. Not all that familiar with Lenovo. In Windows Display Settings are you scaling a percentage also? I haven't had much luck with that, so I set at 100% and change the Display Resolution in Windows Display Settings. Is there another place you can set the resolution of the display panel, like BIOS or in the driver settings (Adjust Screen Resolution Control Panel)?

1920 x 1080 did the trick. I just don't have 4k eyes at 2.5' haha.

I found even with the scaling function I was getting issues with cursors and plugin windows still shrunk. Really I just downgraded my 4k resolution back to 1080p to get around it. This is a problem I've noticed in other DAW's as well.

+1 for the updated wstation. When you go to upgrade set the payment field to zero or the payment cart won’t complete. You’ll also need to upgrade to their new system. A little convoluted processs but worth it.

Handy to have two monitors: one 4k and one 1080 for issues like this. Or enable and use Apple's Zoom function in Accessibility (I assume Windows has a similar command...)
