I've notice that My programs change only goes to 128 and my problem is that Some Of the sounds I use in my tracks on the triton and motif I'm having trouble setting a P change 4.... I've tried to select the category and then do the program change but It always seem to jump to another category any suggestions..... 4 example I used a couple sound on the triton from the O & E drum kit and I can't set a P change 4 it

Hi Slim,

You probably also need to change banks using a bank select message.

First check the MIDI implementation chart, probably somewhere at the back in the Triton manual, if it responds to bank select messages. In case it does try the following steps:
- In main go to the program change field and press WINDOW
- turn bank select ON
- also set a program change number, this will select the program within the selected bank.
- play with the bank select settings to find out how things work with the Triton (e.g. change MSB from 0 to 1 and press PLAY START, keep trying settings until it works).
Don't forget to route the track to the Triton.

Best luck,

Cheers!

yeah it's not "program change" that only goes to 127 - it's MIDI! 8)
