    The only way I've found to produce double (and presumably triple) stops in the Cremona Quartet instruments is to trigger notes at EXACTLY the same time. Doing that in real time (i.e. when playing them on a keyboard) is hit and miss at best.

    I've looked for a 'Poly' setting, but can't seem to find one. Is this simply impossible? Thanks, in advance, for your wisdom!

    Just as a guess...
    It may be due to Legato being active.
    Most software string instruments won't play double notes at the same time in Legato mode.
    They will slide from one to other,while sounding both,of course. etc.

    In addition to my previous post.
    Just bought this library (November 1 2021) and I now have a better understanding regarding the problem.

    As a violin, or similar, are not a "Poly" instruments,playing several notes together from a keyboard won't really work properly.
    It seems that this library replicates stops as in a real stringed instrument....ie not all pairing will sound, as it would be imposible etc.
    If all notes were available,it would sound unatural to a string player / listener.
    (There is a useful visual aid on screen that show notes being played).

    However,I've found that by playing with increased velocity can produce better results,but within the "limitations"
    of how a real instrument would play.
    Perhaps it's time for me to learn about stops and which strings that can be played together from
    a string instrument player's perspective rather than a keyboard player.

    As a follow up to my previous posts.
    Some better results can be achieved with the following setting.

    Sustain
    Bowed
    (This effectively will turn off the legato).

    It would then be possible to either play any two notes at the same, or adding a second note to the first etc.
    Higher velocity from the keyboard works better.

    Hope this helps.
