Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

It seems the scrolling function on my MPC is not working correctly when i'm trying to load some sounds.

This is my problem, I go into my load screen, then i highlight a folder that I want to load sounds from. I then hit Open Window to select the specific folder to load the sounds from.

Everything is fine, I can go through each folder, no problem.

Then I got to audition sounds to assign to pads, while I'm doing this, I go to listen to other sounds, so I hit open window again and try to go to a different folder and when I try to do this, nothing happens. I turn the jog wheel and it just stays there on the folder that i am looking into.

It'll scroll through the sounds in the folder that i am already looking in, but it go back to the other folders so I can change sounds.

I even try using the cursor buttons and still nothing happens.

This is very frustrating, does anyone know what the problem is?

Edit:

I switched my Zip out and put in the one I usually use to make some beats with.

Everything worked fine on it, so does it sound like a problem with the Zip I used, even though it's the same brand?

I did notice on the one that works fine, the Type said PC and the one that crapped out on me, the type said MPC 2000XL

i think ive seen you problem before. I have a 2kxl with internal 250mb zip drive and i always make folders for my beats, samples, drums, sequences you name it to keep organized. anyway one time i accidentally saved a folder in another folder. so it looked like this (fake names to save me from embarrassment of the my real folder/beat names):

ROOT--DRMFOLDER--BEATFOLDER-


so now the BEATFOLDER is in folder with a bunch of drum sounds. when i go into the BEATFOLDER and then try to go back to the DRMFOLDER where all my other folders were listed it didnt let me. kinda of a pain, but all i did was hit shift load again to get back. had to start over to find where my place was on the disk though....

this exact same thing happened to my friend on his 2kxlSE who has a CF reader years later.

this your problem?
