I'm at the end of my rope (you know, the part with the noose on it?) and maybe somebody here can help me. It's about my PMA-5 and one of the Sysex commands.

Specifically, the 'Drum Setup Parameters' part, page 131 of the manual. I get most of the command descriptions, except one: Assign Group. What in the heck does this do? What I think it does (or wish it would do?) is let me cobble together different parts of different drum kits (groups?). Like have the TR-808 set, but swap out the hi-hat for the hi-hat from the Standard set.

The manual is a littel weak. It only lists the Sysex address, the valid values (Non, 1-127) and it calls it 'Assign Group Number'. That's it.

I'm going out of my skull. Does anyone know what this does? Even if it doesn't do what I hope it does, at least I'll be able to put it to rest and finally know.
