Programming the HammerJack 2
The HammerJack 2 can store up to 400
sounds in total. From the factory, it’s loaded with 100 premium
sounds along with all current free sounds.
All free sounds are prefixed with “F_” for easy recognition
. The
main difference between premium sounds and free sounds is the premium sounds are all live animal
recordings whereas the free sounds are manmade. The HammerJack 2
is capable of using FOXPRO’s
proprietary audio file type (FXP), MP3, and uncompressed WAV files. Programming the HammerJack 2 can
be done with a PC or Mac computer, or by sending the HammerJack 2 to the factory. In order to program
the HammerJack 2 from home, you will need a USB 2.0 A/B printer cable (not included with the
HammerJack 2) and a computer running one of the following operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8,
8.1, Windows 10, or Mac OS X 10.7.3 or newer.
