It is also a rewrite of the very aptly-named *MessengerPlusSoundBankExtractor* with an improved project design. The `plpext-core` solution now contains everything related to file manipulation and playback, leaving the front-end fully free to do as it wishes. ## π Documentation [Comments and general documentation/musings on the project](docs/comments.md) ## π Getting Started These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
