 # Corrscope
-Python program to render wave files into oscilloscope views, featuring improved correlation-based triggering algorithm
+
+Corrscope renders oscilloscope views of WAV files recorded from chiptune (game music from retro sound chips).
+
+Corrscope uses "waveform correlation" to track complex waves (including SNES and Sega Genesis/FM synthesis) which jump around on other oscilloscope programs.
+
+Sample results can be found on my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIjb87rjJZxtNsHUdKXMsww/videos.
