I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but from the sounds of it, you want to take a sequence from the Triton and send it to the MPC so it's not "soft".

If you expect to send audio through your midi cables, then that's your problem right there. The only thing that goes through those cables is performance data. (i.e at this point of the song play this note, pitch, velocity, etc. etc). Actual sound is still being generated from the Triton sound generator. If you want to resample the audio into the MPC, then you need to actually sample the sequencer. Doing this will convert the TS sounds through the A/D (analogue/digital) converters of the MPC and give it more of the MPC punch you want I guess.

Additionaly, as far as your global setting on the Triton, you want to set (local control off) and route the proper midi channels, if you want to control the Triton from the MPC. (keep in mind this is for performance stuff, not for sampling so it's gonna sound the same, just being triggered from the MPC). If you just want to sample, you don't really need to mess with the global settings of the Triton. Just send the audio to the MPC and sample it like anything else.

Anyway, good luck and hit that caps lock, especially on them long posts.
