a) Unity gain means a gain of 1 (unity) or no *overall* gain. Now, in 
electronics the term is *context sensitive*.

- a "unity gain mixer" means if I add 4 1 volt signals, I get 4 volts out 
(1+1+1+1)

- a "unity gain stage" is also called a "buffer" has a gain of 1. so if I 
put in 3V I get out 3V.

b) by *definition*, a multiple has no circuitry, it is just jacks wired in 
parallel. If  you plug 2 outputs into a mult, there will be *some* "mixed" 
signals, that will depend on what the output impedances of the 2 driving 
circuits are with respect to each other AND assuming there is an input also 
plugged in, the input impedance of THAT. Adding more inputs or outputs will 
*drastically* change the resulting signal.

This is NOT a recommended thing to do. That is why MOTM modules have 
built-in CV and audio mixers in them.
