 saugns implements the SAU (Scriptable AUdio) language, and is a command-line parser, player, and WAV file writer for SAU scripts. It makes it easy to write script files which play sounds when ran. It's also possible to pipe audio data from it over stdout.
-Currently most useful for generating tones, sounds, soundscapes, and simple timed sequences. Can be used tersely and simply for that, but the language still lacks features for music composition without duplicating lots of script content.
+Currently most useful for generating tones, sounds, soundscapes, and simple timed sequences. Can be used tersely and simply for that, and for shorter musical pieces.
 Audio generation can use the following types of audio generators and ways of configuring them:
   * ''A'' – Amplitude generator, produces amplitude offsets i.e. DC offsets
-  * ''N'' – Noise generator, various noise colors and distributions; maximum rate, no frequency control
+  * ''N'' – Noise generator, various noise colors and distributions (no pitch control)
-  * ''R'' – Rumble oscillator (a.k.a. random line segments oscillator), various modes and line types; this allows smooth noise, and modulation both of and by noisy signals
+  * ''R'' – Rumble a.k.a. random line segments oscillator, various modes and line types (for pitched, smooth noise, and modulation both of and by noisy signals)
   * ''W'' – Wave oscillator, various wave types
   * Parameter sweeps, ADSR envelopes, and modulation by connecting objects – for AM/RM, FM/PM, and more
