Knowing when to stop applies to so many things in life but in this case it’s an exercise in trying to play double stops on the SWAM string instruments.

Sounds here are from SWAM Viola and Violin, BeatHawk Bombards and Bagpipes,  World Piano Drones, Bodhrán from the website of Santiago Molina and waves from the BBC.

What works for me to get consistent double stopping (two notes playing at once) using GeoShred is 

1) Change (in SWAM) Bow Polyphony from Mono String Crossing (the default) to Auto.
2) On the Advanced Settings page, make the SWAM window as big as possible and navigate right to the bottom. Change Auto Poly Detection time from 12 (the default) to the maximum of 30.969 🤨
3) Try playing two notes at once in GeoShred.
4) Repeat step 3 a gazillion times until it works consistently😊
