1.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display.
2.
Select Enable DPI Awareness.
The Display Scale slider in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display allows you to adjust the display scaling of Sonar independently from the global Windows display scale setting (Settings > Systems > Display). Select a custom scaling size between 75%–125%.
Note: Low Display Scale values work better at higher DPI resolutions. For example, a low-resolution 1080p screen at 96 DPI, so a Display Scale value of 75% will result in a tiny UI that is potentially difficult to read. On the other hand, a 4K screen at 75% will also show a tiny UI, but may still be usable because it has 4x the number of pixels.
In addition to the global Enable DPI Awareness app setting, you can also enable/disable DPI Awareness on a per plug-in basis for VST plug-ins. DPI Awareness is enabled by default for all VST plug-ins and can be disabled on a case-by-case basis depending on whether the plug-ins are compatible with display scaling. For example, some older plug-ins may appear too small on large, high resolution monitors, in which case disabling DPI Awareness might be preferable.
2.
Click the VST2/VST3 drop-down menu in the VST plug-in toolbar and select Enable Plugin DPI Awareness.

Per plug-in display scaling is only active when the application has Enable DPI Awareness enabled in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display
