    The Komplete Kontrol Window Is TOO SMALL

    Are you guys working on low res laptops. It's 2015! I can believe you did not make a resizable window. I'm on a iMac 5k and it's about 3X5 inches.

    Love the keyboard, love the concept but COME ON!!!!!!

    And NI is far behind the current standard, which is Full HD ... what Fishermusic said, is not much different on a Full HD display, which is pretty much standard on most notebooks since five years or even more.

    I said this several times ... Kontrol as all other standalone apps of the Komplete package need the same full screen functionality as Reaktor, which already has it.

    Full screen for apps is pretty much standard on all OS (Windows, OSX, Linux) since the days of Windows 3.1, so this mini window disaster, yes disaster, it's absolutely inacceptable. And yes, I'm totally upset!

    One could believe, that NI develops on Macbooks from the last decade :D

    PS: NI should keep in mind, that many producers are interested to use NI products in a studio and many of those guys are around 50 years old, so they wear reading glasses! Hey, NI did you notice, that music has a broader spectrum than just dancefloor chicks and DJs? LOL

    I don't think so -- year and a half ago, I got a laptop for work that didn't even come in sizes other than 15" 3200x1800.
    Most of the MacBooks have been Retina for a long time, too. (Some people get that hardware to run Windows, for whatever reasons)
    When my old monitor recently broke, a few hundred dollars got me a 2560x1440 27" display.
    The available work area is such a boon that anyone paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for instruments would be very well served paying a couple of hundred for a modern monitor.
    In my opinion, the present is 4K.

    But do you want to resize the browser? I don't understand why you ask this since at the moment it is not possible to load more than one instrument at once inside Komplete Kontrol.

    There are two possible behaviors for resizing:
    - make more space (not that useful here)
    - make text and controls bigger
    The latter one might be quite useful to some of us...

    That doesn't matter because it's nevertheless a pain to scroll through long lists of sounds, because the browser window is too small.

    Well that's not an issue for me, I dont use the browser a lot and when I do I just use the preset up and down buttons on the keyboard.

    Too slow for my taste and horrible, when browsing through lists, that contain sounds from different instruments, because I always have to wait 'til the new instrument is loaded, until I can search further.
