Ensure that you change the track you want to use to record the MIDI notes from your Triton, and change the track from "DRUM" to "MIDI".

If you've got Track 1 set as DRUM and you've got your samples on there, change it to Track 2, and set it to MIDI and set PGM to 'Off'.

If you leave PGM as whichever PGM you've saved your samples in, when you play your Triton you will hear the MPC samples.

Me too. I thought I would open it to see some sort of gnarly paint job on his machine.

You aren't in the "getting started" forum so you might get that from some.

"what exactly are you trying to do u muppet?"
Don't worry tamojuan it's not derogatory. He's just messing with you.

"but since you said sample from my triton you might as well tell me how to do that also"
Sampling thr trion will defeat the purpose of you midi'n the gear. Learn midi (read up on tweakheadz.com) and try what Homie said.

Sampling into your triton, you obviously need to read the triton manual, and/or download the manual, there is a section that walks you through how to sample, no one wants to walk you through that when it's there already, and you here talkin about "u might as well tell me how to do that also", Have some nuts and do for self, experience is the best teacher.

Grab that manual, go through it, push buttons at the same time. Learn the basics of each machine. Have fun..

ok guys be a little easy,all he's asking is how to use the triton sounds with the MP, basically the MPC is the sequencer and the triton is he's sounds source, I have the same setup. I'll help him.


MPC1000 and Triton Extreme Midi Setup
first if you have your Audio cables hooked up to your Mixer,it's ok. The Problem is midi. Here's how I have my setup,try this.

Let's set your triton up first.

1. In the Triton-hit Global button- should look like this.

Bank Map-----------Korg

Power on Mode-----Memorize

System Clock-------Internal

Note* while still in Global-hit Menu,then hit Midi-you should be in Midi setup.

2. Midi-Channel--------------1 checkbox Local on

Convert Position----PreMidi note on -----All

Midi Clock Internal External Midi
External USB

use only when slaving etc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

MIDI Filter. check all,So you don't have to go back in, Program change,Bank change etc.

Now Hit Sequence button on The Triton Extreme. Your in Sequence Mode
so the MPC can use the Program sounds from the triton (16 Channels to use).

MPC Setup;

1.hit mode key/midi-sync. receive channel -All
soft thru:as track
up to you on this / sequence change by program change:Off
Pad to internal sound:On

Sync in : Off
Sync Out: AB

Now go to main Page (MPC).
In Track 1

Go to Type: MIDI Pgm:No-1 -------------------Midi: 1 -16 /A-B

Now to play the sounds or record to the MPC sequence you can setup your

Banks and Programs changes Here.

In Pgm: No-1 hit window key: A window popsup and says Program Change.

Bank Select:NO-turn it to Yes MSB:0 LSB:0 < here's where you change in and out of your programs. If you have a Korg Manual (Triton Parameter Guide) on page 158. look at O-2a: System Preference- Bank Map.

Bank-A MSB:00 LSB:0-----------Program Change 1-127< Sounds are here.

Bank-B MSB:00 LSB:1-----------Program Change 1-127

Remember once you have this set;up , you can change your sounds from your MPC by turning Program numbers. Also make sure in Program change window you turn transmit program changes in this track to: Yes

You have any problems PM me ,we'll get it up and running.

PS. If you leave Memorize on in the Korg,before you turn off,when your done and turn off, you can turn the Korg back on and it remembers the last setup. Like working in Seq/Mode. All I do now is turn on the equipment
and program in my MPC,not having to mess with the triton extreme buttons.

Make sure you have two midi cables"

A-out from MPC to the Triton
1-out from Triton to the MP

this should help u, PM me or hit me up YIM,MSN. 8)
