Using the FOXPRO Programming Utility
The FOXPRO Sound Programming Utility has versions available for both Windows and Mac operating
systems. You can find them both at the following web address:
https://www.gofoxpro.com/programming
Under the heading “Software Links”, you should see a link for the Windows and Mac versions. Click on the
appropriate link for your operating system to go to the download page.
Windows
users will see that there is both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the utility available. The 64-bit
version should work fine on most modern computers. If your computer is a little on the older side, you will
want to use the 32-bit version. To download the installer (executable .exe file), click on the link
corresponding with the correct version. After doing that, the installer file will be saved to your computer.
You must now open that file to allow the installer to setup the utility on your computer. We recommended
keeping all of the default options as they are. You will have the ability to create a Desktop icon if you wish.
When installation is complete, the utility can be located in your Start Menu > FOXPRO Programmer.
Mac
users can download a Mac Application Bundle for the utility. This is a bundle that contains the utility
and provides the easiest method for installation. Simply download the bundle and then move it into your
Applications folder. Note that, depending upon your security settings, you may need to add an exception
for the file after you have it downloaded.
Launching the Utility
Windows users can launch the utility by finding the shortcut in the Start Menu and clicking on it. For those
who created a Desktop icon, locate it and double-click on it to launch the utility.
Mac users can double-click on the icon for the bundle that you placed in your Applications folder earlier.
As the utility launches, you will see a splash screen that shows some basic information. When it is fully
loaded, you will be presented with a screen that is divided into two main sections. The left side is called
Source Files
, which represents the default storage location for sounds on your computer. The right side is
called
Caller Files
, which displays the sounds loaded in your game call. Because we already connected the
game call to the computer previously, the Caller Files section should be displaying the sound list for your
game call. If this is your first time using the utility, the Source Files column should be empty.
File Locations / Sound Library
Whether using Windows or Mac versions, the utility establishes the local sound storage point under
Documents > FOXPRO > Sounds. We recommend that you place all of your new sounds in this location for
easy access.
For purposes of example, we can quickly add some new sounds from the free library with the utility. To do
this, click on the File menu on the utility screen and then click on the “Download Free Sounds” menu item.
This displays a list of all free sounds available from FOXPRO. You can select one or all of the free sounds to
highlight them. Next, click on the “Download Selected” button to save the selected files to your computer.
If you have already purchased new sounds from FOXPRO, be aware that you can login to your store account
and download the new sounds directly in the utility. To do this, click on the File menu and then click on the
“Sound Pack Downloader” menu item. Enter t
he email address for your store account along with the
account password, then click on the “Login” button. Upon logging in, any sound pack that you have
purchased through the online store will appear in the column on the right. Simply click on one of the sound
