If a plugin needs more than one track to work on, then firstly you drag the<br>
plugin onto some of tracks, just as usually. Then you click with RMB on the<br>
other track(s), choose Attach effect. You get a big window, select there<br>
BlendAlgebra from the list of shared effects. The effect bar will appear<br>
under the second track, but without the button to edit parameters - because<br>
it is the single effect (although attached to several tracks). You edit its<br>
parameters by the button under that track where it was first dragged.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">yes, thanks, this procedure worked!

How many tracks a blend function requires, is usually defined in its code<br>
(REQUIRE_TRACKS). CinGG checks if at least that number of tracks is<br>
available and does not execute the effect while playback if there are too<br>
few.<br>
<br>
After you have attached the plugin, you can attach some algebra function<br>
from the plugin parameters dialog. Try to do so firstly step-by-step, as I<br>
do not know how this can go through the resources window.<br>
<br>
For example, if you load some project with algebra into the resources, then<br>
it is a question in which directory it will search algebra functions in the<br>
case they are defined with relative paths in the xml file. The function<br>
files cannot be copied automatically because only the plugin knows, they<br>
exist, CinGG binary cannot know this. If it is the case, functions have to<br>
be reattached from the place they actually are.<br>
<br>
If there is some function defined in the plugin, but its source file is not<br>
found, then no function will be applied at this place, and playback will not<br>
be changed. Will be some message printed in the CinGG console if there is no<br>
function file, I don't remember.<br>
