0. Welcome

1. What it sounds like you are trying to do is midi triton and mpc.

mpc midi in -> triton midi out. mpc midi out -> triton midi in.

master = int sync.
slave = external sync.

Go to tweakheadz.com and read up on midi. It will help you GREATLY.

2. No you didn't waste your money, he's a nerdball, and you should not deal with him anymore. GC is good, he is bad, avoid that herb.

3. Yes you are fine, learn more about what you have and you are golden.

You'll need to use the audio outs of your Triton if you expect to hear any sound from it. MIDI cables do not carry audio

You'll also need to both load samples into the MPC and have the MPC outs routed to a Mixer, amplifier, and speakers....
