On the MPC on the main window where it says "Drum: OFF" change that should work then

I'm having the same problems. I will try your tip tomorrow.

I actually figured it out....thanks though.....goto Midi in the MP nad make sure the correct out is selected and Midi sync

I had tried all the MPC setting that but they didn't work...I got so frustrated that I ended up purchasing the Axiom 25. I haven't opened it yet...I will send it back if I can get my setup to work. I would love to use my MPC and Triton to control VSTs. From PT, when I select the pencil I can play sounds that I have loaded on my MPC and Triton but I haven't figured out how to use either to control VSTs. I'm swapping over from PC to MAC so I need to reinstall everything anyway. You have given me hope. Thanks

You will need a vst wrapper to use those type of plugins in PT

You can not use vst plugins in ProTools unless you use a wrapper.
Why do you think they sell them then.

Pro Tools uses RTAS plugins.Not Vst ones.

Then i will go under the assumption that mines are those Hybrid joints...since they work in Logic....I'm not really on whats the difference between RTAS,VST,AU cuz i dont think thats his problem....I think his problem is a midi problem

Can try Plogue Bidule.
It does so many things.
I am sure it has all different ways software and hardware can talk to
each other.

Also look at MAX/MSP

Today I was finally able to get set up my MPC and Triton to trigger sounds in Xpand and Structure. Now I whenever I record enable a midi track in PT it hangs on the last note I played.
