Yes, I use this for the "round robin" thing all the time. Especially useful for libraries such 
as VSL or Project SAM that come with keyswitching instruments with multiple versions of a 
certain articulations, such as multiple staccatos. Create an instrument that automatically 
switches between staccato versions by changing the "selected by" from "key" to "group." 
Assign the first group to "start" and each consecutive group to be triggered by the 
previous one.
