Triton LE Midi
I connect my triton le into my laptop via midi cable to play native instruments B4 software and it works great. How do I disconnect from the midi connection quickly so I can play the programs on my triton (ie Strings) quickly?

You should be able to use the LE to play its own sounds without disconnecting anything. You'll obviously want to mute the B4-II, change the channel the B4-II is receiving on, or change global MIDI channel on the LE in order to not trigger both at the same time.
If you're playing into a DAW to record parts for a song, don't bother with any of that; just do whatever your DAW needs to do to reroute the MIDI (i.e. in Cubase, any currently selected MIDI tracks receive MIDI input on the channels they're listening to; to record your strings, you'd make a second MIDI track and have that one be active. Other DAWs will have something similar).
If you want to be able to switch between the B4-II and your strings in more of a live setting (for example, you bring your laptop on gigs for good organ sounds), you've got two options.
You can make a combi and set up your keyboard so that one timbre in the combi, an INT timbre, triggers the strings and another, an EXT timbre, triggers the B4-II. Change the key zones for both timbres so that they don't overlap. You won't be able to switch combis though without a short delay in your sound; do this if you won't be changing sounds for the duration of your song (other than playing on a different part of the keyboard).
Alternately, if you need to change sounds mid-song, or if you want to use the full range of your keyboard for each instrument and switch between them, play in sequencer mode. There are a few recent threads on how to do this; take a look around and ask something more specific if there's something you still don't understand.
