No. You would just record the MIDI sequences into the MPC.
So, again, put the Triton into sequence mode. You're on track 1 by default. Choose a sound, say a drum kit.
Set the MPC on track 1 to MIDI, channel 1. You should now be in control of track 1 on the Triton when hitting the pads on the MPC. So, now it's just a matter of recording the MIDI sequence for that track. You can either do so by recording your hitting pads on the MPC, or if you have the Triton's MIDI out going to the MPC's MIDI in, you can trigger the sounds using the Triton itself. For drums, obviously, you probably want to use the pads, so record the drum sequence into track 1 on the MPC using them.
Now, on the Triton, move to track 2, then select the sound for track 2, say a bass. Go to the MPC, move to track 2, set it to MIDI channel 2. Now you can control the bass sound using the MPC pads. Again, record the sequence for the bass into the MPC, either using the pads or using the Triton itself.
The only thing that ever seems to throw things out of wack is if I don't remember to set the MIDI channels after changing tracks on the MPC. You can end up triggering 2 different sounds without meaning to if you don't.
