About Multis

Multi Mode lets you use your Advance 61 to control a
multi in VIP. A multi is collection of 2–8 patches (from 1 or
more plugins). Each patch is assigned to a slot, and each
slot has an assigned color. When using a multi, you can
simultaneously control volume, panning, solos, and mutes
for each slot in a mixer-style interface. You can do this
only when using VIP.
To navigate this mode:
• Use the Page Left/Right buttons to switch between
each view of 4 slots.
• Use the Cursors to select a slot.
• Press the Data Dial to enter Multi Edit Mode.
See the following sections to learn more about using Multi Mode.
