Multi Parents are not actually a specific feature or Macro type as such, they're there to help keeps things organised.\
\
When a control is setup to output multiple parent activations depending on it's state ([Range](/midi-mimic/cues.md#continuous-range) for continuous, [Cycle](/midi-mimic/cycle-cues.md) for buttons), use Multi Parent to give you the same indicator and outline colour changes to show you the Macro's purpose is parenting. \
\
You will also be restricted to [Ghost](/midi-mimic/parents-and-children.md#ghost-parents) outputs only as these are how you parent multiple times from one input.\
\
You can just set per-cue outputs to include Ghost Parent activation, you don't need Multi Parent as a type.
