HELP! with Triton Rack and Loading PCG and Samples

I have a Triton Rack and I think that I have a set that was made for an Extreme, I tried loading this pcg set and it says Files unailable, is this because the pcg. file is 2.24 MB? do I have to convert it somehow?

The Extreme based set is telling the Rack to look for ROM sample addresses that are missing -- the ROM set on the extreme is way bigger than the rack - so as the rack looks for anything higher than the Classic/Studio set you'll get an error message.
The extreme IS compatible downward(*) - but the Rack will not load Extreme PCG.
(*) for classic and studio voices - there is not a 1-to-1 match between the EXB boards and the Extreme, even tho' "the entire library of sounds is there".

You're best option if you REALLY want to use these voices is to find out what ROM sample they used then get as close as possible -- in other words make all the voices of the set you're trying to load Classic-ROM-based (a software editor would certainly speed this process).
-- AND --
in the case of sets written for CLASSIC+EXB, you also have to make adjustments to the referenced ROM samples because the extreme CANNOT look for an expansion board - even tho the identical samples may be in its ROM library.

Well, can I load the samples? I guess I would have to load one by one?
From the size of the pcg would that be an extreme file?
thanks
