Your example should work. You could switch between 128 groups with a 
single controller type.

I recently built a "mega" drum kit with this principle and it did work. 
I had more than 10 groups per controller type and I built an 
environment device that would let me select different banks (groups) 
per drum type (kick, snare etc). It did work, but I found out about a 
major fault in the handling of audio instruments that led me to abandon 
all that work. The problem is that audio instruments are always reset 
on cycle jump and after stopping. This makes the a lot of the 
environment functions useless for audio instruments. Emagic really 
needs to improve and fix the handling of audio instruments.
