Happy to help, just wish we could get it working for you.
You could try loading one of the "notes" presets- those need MIDI input to make any harmonies at all. The results from that might suggest where the problem lies.
You can also control the harmonies through the 1/8" input on the VLT, but getting the MIDI input to work would be way better....

I'd skip USB for now. Never used PT, but I'll assume it is basically like every other DAW.
Stereo vs Mono is up to you, but if you have 4 1/4" mono cables, then:

Triton Left and Right out will go to 2 inputs on the Digi. Set up a stereo track in PT with those 2 inputs.
From the VLT, use the TRS L and R outputs, go to 2 more inputs on the Digi, and again set up a stereo track in PT with those 2 inputs.
On the VLT, make sure Output is set to Stereo ( that's the default, it is under the Setup menu).
Last thing, make sure the Triton is sending out MIDI. Connect MIDI out from the Triton to the VLT. Check what channel the Triton is sending out MIDI on, and make sure the VLT is using that channel (also in the Setup Menu).

OK, now really the last step I think, is to check, again in the Setup menu, Nat Play Glbl. This tells the VLT what to listen to to determine the harmonies-I'd go with Auto until you have a specific reason to change it.

Think that does it!

I'm pretty good at connectivity, but pretty clueless about Macs.
There is more than one way to go about it, but probably the simplest is MIDI out from the Triton, to the VLT. That will control your harmonies.
Then just audio out from the Triton into the Mac, and Audio out from the VLT into the Mac. Each of those would be a separate channel in PT.
You don't mention anything about an audio interface, so I'm not sure if either/both the Triton and VLT can be stereo- that would depend how many inputs you have.

Does the light go on if you move the modwheel or ribbon on the Triton? It should react to any MIDI signal, not just notes-this will tell you if MIDI is reaching the VLT at all. (EDIT, just tried this on my M3, and for some reason pitchbend does not make the MIDI light go on, but any of the other controls will)
If the VLT is receiving MIDI, but not notes, then look at the way the Triton is setup. Try a program not combi so there will be less variables.

Here's a good comparison of RC50 vs RC300 if any one is interested.

Since this is TCH's forum I'll add that, for vocal processing,their gear is excellent, but people who are really into looping may still want to look further....

I think a big question is how much memory it has- 6 tracks sounds great, but how long can they be?

The link I posted says $599.99, in March....

I've recorded the VLT to my iPad through CCK-works well...

Are you sure you mean CC? Cause it's PC that changes programs...

Just wanted to wish you luck with your project! I asked Craig to send me the same thing a couple months back, for the same reason, but I didn't get very far with it- hopefully you'll do better.
What app are you using?

Me too.

Keller Williams has some good advice: just focus on the 1st beat for both starting the loop and closing it.
Also, keep playing (or singing) through the point you close the loop for a few beats if possible- if you are anticipating stopping your instrument or voice right when you are stopping the loop, it's easier to have a subtle pause there which leads to the loop being less smooth.

Hopefully that will help someone conceptually.
I just bought a Boss RC-300. I'm completely satisfied with the VLT for harmonies and effects, wanted a real looper.

Thanks for the tips!

Looking at mine, it's 12 V, 1A with a 2.1 mm plug.

The other thing means it is Kosher.

Just kidding, it's for one of those security tethers to lock it to something.
