 ## 🎼 Devalang, by **Devaloop Labs**
 
 🎶 Compose music with code — simple, structured, sonic.
 
 Devalang is a tiny domain-specific language (DSL) for music makers, sound designers, and audio hackers.
-Compose loops, control samples, and automate parameters — all in clean, readable text.
+Compose loops, control samples, render and play audio — all in clean, readable text.
 
 🦊 Whether you're building a track, shaping textures, or performing live, Devalang helps you think in rhythms. It’s designed to be simple, expressive, and fast — because your ideas shouldn’t wait.
 
 From studio sketches to live sets, Devalang gives you rhythmic control — with the elegance of code.
 
-> 🚧 **v0.0.1-alpha.1 Notice** 🚧
+> 🚧 **v0.0.1-alpha.4 Notice** 🚧
 >
-> Devalang is still in early development. This version does not yet include **sound rendering**.
->
-> You can parse code, generate the AST, and validate syntax — all essential building blocks for the upcoming audio engine.
->
-> Currently, only `.kick` is included as a built-in trigger.
-> Custom instruments can be defined with `@load`, allowing any sound sample to be triggered with the same syntax.
+> **Audio Engine** is now integrated, enabling audio playback and rendering capabilities.
 >
 > Currently, Devalang CLI is only available for **Windows**.  
 > Linux and macOS binaries will be added in future releases via cross-platform builds.

 ## 🚀 Features
 
-- 🧩 Module system for importing and exporting variables between files (`@import`, `@export`)
-- 📜 Structured AST generation for debugging and future compilation
-- 🔢 Basic data types: strings, numbers, booleans, maps, arrays
-- 👁️ Watch mode for `build` and `check` commands
-- ⏱️ `bpm` assignment for setting tempo
-- 🧱 `bank` declaration to define the instrument set
-- 🔁 Looping system with fixed repetitions (`loop 4:`)
-- 🧪 Instruction calls with parameters (e.g. `.kick auto {reverb:10, decay:20}`) for testing pattern syntax
-- 📄 `let` assignments for storing reusable values
-- 🔄 `@load` assignment to load a sample (.mp3, .wav) to use it as a value
-- 🛠️ CLI tools for syntax checking (`check`), AST output (`build`)

 ## ❔ Usage
 
+NOTE: Commands are available via `devalang` or `npx @devaloop/devalang`.
+
+NOTE: Arguments can be passed to commands using `--<argument>` syntax. You can also use a configuration file to set default values for various settings, making it easier to manage your Devalang project.
+
+NOTE: Some commands require a mandatory `--entry` argument to specify the input folder, and a `--output` argument to specify the output folder. If not specified, they default to `./src` and `./output` respectively.
