Problem loading multisamples as a programme
My Triton seems to load multisamples as a programme fine but as soon as I turn it off and on again the multisample programme is completely silent. Is this some sort of malfunction or am I just doing it wrong?

A Program is just a bunch of settings for filter, envelopes, etc, including which multisample number to play.
So the actual multisample and associated samples have to be loaded into RAM in order to be able to be played. As on a computer, RAM (memory) is volatile, meaning that it loses it's contents when powered off.
So you have to load the samples back into RAM from disk every time you turn on. Much like when you turn on the computer, it loads any computer programs and indeed the operating system itself, from disk into RAM where it can be read much faster than if it were kept on and constantly read from disk.
But program settings are simply a bunch of short numbers so the keyboard is able to store them between power-off (because they don't need to be read at audio rate, they don't need to be in RAM), so the program itself is saved as long as you used the 'Write' procedure to store it.
A side effect of this is that the program will still be pointing for example to multisample location #35 or whatever, so if you don't load the multisamples back in the same order, then the programs will be pointing to the wrong multisamples, and your previous recording of for example a flute will now be a piano, but with all of the program settings and FX you had set up for the flute..

Write procedure
So the problem might be that I've not been using the "write" procedure to store it...what page is the write procedure in? Is it the multisample page or is it the program page?
