Good question.  I don't recall if you miss a beat.  Most likely you 
will have some noticeable change if you switch a multi during 
playback. Multis include preset data on all channels, so, you will 
be change those. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have your current multisetup stored, so you 
can restore it.

If you are not careful, or you don't know what you are doing when 
you switch multisetups you could have unhappy results.  For example, 
if you switch to a multi that doesn't receive midi, you won't be 
able to do anything after that change.  Also, if you change from a 
multi that that sends clock to a multi that doesn't send clock, your 
outgoing clock will no longer be sent.

POSSIBLE ALTERNATE ROUTE: I haven't tried this, but just try 
changing the controller assignments via sysex parameter editing. See 
Master MIDI Parameters in the sysex manual).
