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 – S09 to correlate with
all 10 possibilities. The FOXCAST sequence files are stored directly in the root directory of the HammerJack,
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 TX915 and HammerJack

sound list. To perform this, please see chapter 10 in the section “Transferring a New Playlist to the TX915”.

Programming the HammerJack
The HammerJack can store up to 300 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 is capable of using FOXPRO’s
proprietary audio file type (FXP), MP3, and uncompressed WAV files. Programming the HammerJack can be
done with a PC or Mac computer, or by sending the HammerJack to the factory. In order to program the
HammerJack from home, you will need a USB 2.0 A/B printer cable (not included with the HammerJack) 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.
