Hi I need some help with patch switching
I've seen videos and such with people hitting a certain key and it switching the patch they are playing, also footswitches
Is this possible with the TE?
If so, can someone help me through setting it up so that I can hit a key and switch my patches, or can someone tell me a footswitch that'll do it?
Thanks!
Is there a quick way of switching patches?

I don't think that the TE can switch patches with a key press - at least, I've never found this feature.
You can set the footswitch to go up to the next patch, or down to the previous patch. Then you have to put all your patches in the order you need them.
There's been a few threads about the best way to select patches during gigs, and what I do is put them in roughly the set order, all as combis with names given by the names of the songs. Then by clicking on the combi name you get a window up which shows the 20 combis near your current combi. I just look at the display and touch the combi with the name of the next song, and then I'm ready to start playing. With 20 combis showing it's usually easy to see where the song you need is. If the song has more than one combi then I put them in ascending order and press the increment button while playing (this you could do with a pedal).

any on/off footswitch should work
connect it to the SW switch on the back.
go into GLOBAL mode and select P2 Controller
Then change footswitch assign to Program UP or Down
This will then change programs or combi's up or down but not songs in sequencer mode

For really quick access to lots of sounds, it's best to use a second keyboard with it's MIDI out connected to the MIDI in of the Triton. This allows you to play different Triton sounds at the same time from each keyboard.
If that second keyboard can transmit on multiple MIDI channels simultaneously, you can get tons of different sounds at you fingertips.
I used this type of setup live, but I had a Korg 01wfd at the time as my main synth. The second "controller" keyboard was a Korg Wavestation. The Wavestation could transmit on (I think it was) eight different MIDI channels through various split and layer programs that I setup beforehand.
I setup the 01wfd's internal sounds (combis) to correspond to the split layer assignments of both keyboards. I also used a footpedal to step through 01wfd combis since both hands were usually busy playing.
It was a lot of work to setup, but it was worth it.

Goom's solution is THE SOLUTION.
With one additional board, you have plenty of space to disperse sounds across two keybeds and all those sounds can be from your Extreme, or you can mix them, some from Extreme, some from the other keyboard (if it isn't just controller).
With additional board or even two boards, you only have to program combis to disperse sounds to different portions on each keybed.
Now imagine this:
if you have Extreme and two controllers with 61 keys each, you can make your setups in sequencer instead of combi. Now you have 16 sounds dispersed to three keybeds! I can hardly imagine any song that would require more.
Controllers with decent keys are rather cheap these days and they are very light and very convenient to carry to gigs.

patch switching
On my Triton Extreme there is nothing in Global Mode about setting a foot switch.
I need to know exact steps on a Triton Extreme for how to set up a foot switch for quick patch switching.

Pagey already explained how to do that.
There is no way that your Extreme doesn't have those options in Global mode.
Read Pagey's post carefully. Also, do read pages 90 and 91 in Operation Guide and page 165 in Parameter Guide.
If you read all of this and still don't manage to set foot switch to change programs up and down, maybe you have faulty foot switch. Or your Extreme doesn't have needed options

Amystika, don't get me wrong, but this line isn't nice.well if I felt like reading a guide, I wouldn't have used the convenience of this site
Everyone of experienced Korg users read manuals, at least for one of the Korgs, when you study one Korg workstation, you can easily manage next generation, things tend to repeat them selfs when it comes to programing.
You will get no where if you avoid to read manuals. We could never provide you answers to every question and this forum, no matter how great it is, doesn't teach you everything.
