A FOXCAST sequence must always begin with a volume. Without defining a volume level, the caller will
default to volume level 0. A FOXCAST sequence file must always end with a specific ending statement. “J”
represents jukebox mode. When you end a sequence with “J”, once the sequence has played through a
single time, it will automatically begin playing the next FOXAST sequence. “Q” represents quit. Once the
sequence has played entirely, the HammerJack 2 will go silent. “R” represents repeat. Once the sequence
has played entirely, the HammerJack 2 will play that sequence again until it is interrupted by the operator.
The HammerJack 2 can accept up to 25 FOXCAST sequence files. These files will need to be in a format
similar to the following examples:
As you can see above, each file can be broken down into three parts. The first part is the identifier
(prefix/index) for the particular sequence. For example, “S00” indicates that this is the FIRST sequence in
the HammerJack 2. The second part of the name, “My Coyote Sequence”, describes the title of this
sequence. The third part, “.seq”, is the file extension that defines this file as a FOXCAST sequence file. Note
that the .seq file extension is not native to any operating system. This is a unique file extension for FOXPRO
game calls with FOXCAST. A FOXCAST sequence file may appear as an unknown file type and display on
your computer with an “unknown” or “unassociated” icon.
When creating new sequence files, please check for existing sequence files already using the same identifier
(prefix/index). For example, if “S00” is already used by an existing sequence file, then you must not use
“S00” for the new file or the result will be a conflict. Valid identifiers span from S00 – S24 to correlate with
all 10 possibilities. The FOXCAST sequence files are stored directly in the root directory of the HammerJack
2, alongside of the regular audio files. On a Windows based PC, using a piece of integrated software such as
Notepad is all that you will need to successfully build a sequence file. Mac users would use something such
as Textedit, which is a standard application.

Synchronizing the TX433 and HammerJack 2
Before you can access your FOXCAST sequence files on the TX433, you must download a new copy of the
sound list. To perform this, please see chapter 10 in the section “Transferring a New Playlist to the TX433”.
