11-4 Indexing the Files
Files stored in the XWave and XWave remote are sorted based upon the names of the files. For
example, a sound titled “000 My Sound” will appear in the list before a sound titled “123
Lightning Jack”. While you can simply copy and paste sounds directly into the
XWave ’s sou nd
folder, the ultimate order in which those sounds will appear in is based upon the names of
those files. This is important to understand when considering the implications upon other
features such as FOXCAST.
The XWave can hold up to 1,000 sounds in total. Proper indexing values for all file names range
from 000 through 999. If you download a 4 sound pack from FOXPRO, you will see the files in a
format similar to:
Example 4 Sound Pack File List
B00 Raspy Woodpecker
B51 Raven Duet
C26 Coyote Pair
N02 Raccoon Fight
Each one of those files contains the FOXPRO sound library identification number as the first part
of the file name. Obviously, the sound library identification number does not fall within the 000
through 999 indexing values. This means that if you wish to assign a specific position for any of
those files, those numbers must be replaced by a proper index value. Using your computer, you
can easily rename those files to become something similar to:
Example 4 Sound Pack File List
100 Raspy Woodpecker
101 Raven Duet
102 Coyote Pair
103 Raccoon Fight
By renaming the files, they will now have an index value to assign their individual positions
within the sound list. When building a FOXCAST sequence, for example, referencing sound
“100” will link to “Raspy Woodpecker”. While indexing is not required, it can certain ly be useful
in many occasions.
