External sound changes for live performances

[Nelgar]

Hi all,

Any ideas on how could I change through an external device the sounds I use to my Korg Triton LE when I perform live?
I was thinking that loading a "playlist" with all the sounds I use in a concert, with the right order (which will contain duplicates, as a sound will probably used for more than one songs) in to an external device and then be able to go to the next sound by handling the external device and not my Korg's sound buttons will make my life easier in live performances.
So for example if I have to play 40 songs, I need to load somewhere the 15 sounds that I'm using on these 40 songs - track by track so every time a song ends pressing the "next" button and be ready for the next one. Unfortunately loading and managing sounds playlist in Korg Triton is not that easy while performing.

Any other suggestions/ideas with the same results will be much appreciated

Thanks

It would be doable with a laptop or an iPad but I'm not certain what software you would use. I do program changes on my Korg TR using cakewalk and the appropriate INS file to select the patches with my mouse but it sounds to me like all you'd need is some simple stripped down VB or Perl script that sends the proper MIDI codes to the keyboard.

The simpler the better in a performance situation but I don't know if such a software already exists or if you'd have to write it yourself or contract a programmer to write it for you.

Actually I believe Soundtower makes a ready made patch editor/librarian for the Korg Triton LE running under Windows.

I just checked and yes they do...

That should be workable for you though it only runs on Vista and lower.
