a couple small applications (Patreon)

hey all, been working on my current project and wound up cooking up a couple small command line applications in the process. they're both 32bit windows command line applications. 81mod is generally harmless but you can very quickly generate thousands - or millions - of garbage files with splunger, so please take care with it.

81mod: a modification of Damian Yerrick's DPCM tools. converts a WAV file into 1bit DPCM and decodes it at 2-8bits to a new WAV file. the amplitude and sampling rate options have been greatly expanded. will accept a file dragged onto it and then prompt for the necessary arguments.

splunger: reads any file as unsigned 8bit audio and pukes out WAV files every [x] bytes, designed to be used as looping waveforms. automatically tunes all samples to middle C. has options to repeat bytes for aliased waveforms. on files over a few kilobytes you will want to limit the number of output files and be conscious about making the split size lower than a few bytes. originally designed to automatically split sound ROMs from synthesizers and hardware using unsigned 8bit audio, but wound up being fun to use on lots of things. this doesn't accept drag & drop for the time being and some command line comfort is recommended before use.

i've also put these on my site's tools/toys page.
