With the Normalize function, you can rescale the amplitude of the selected sample segment to
optimize its level relative to other samples. The Normalize function will uniformly boost the
amplitude of the current sample range as high as possible without clipping, stopping just
before the loudest element of the sample would be clipped. You might want to use the Volume
Adjust function to boost the current segment manually, but the Normalize function does it
automatically, and prevents you from boosting the amplitude too much.

The Truncate function will automatically reset the Start (S) and End (E) points of the sample.
This can be quicker than trimming the sample manually on the TRIM page.
Use the Start and End parameters to select a speciÞc sample range. Set the Thresh parameter
from -96 to 0dB to set the noise ßoor. When you press the Go soft button, the K2vx will search
inward from the start and end points you set, until it Þnds the Þrst sample that exceeds the
noise ßoor. Everything outside the range will be left out. YouÕll want to experiment with
different thresholds to Þnd the noise ßoor that suits each sample you truncate. If the new End
point is inside the current loop point, the loop will be disabled.
When you press the Go soft button, youÕll be prompted ÒKeep this change?Ó Unlike the other
DSP functions, answering Yes does not bring up the Save dialog. It registers the new Start and
End positions as the Start (S) and End (E) points (as set on the TRIM or LOOP page). In fact,
you can go to either of these pages to readjust the S and E points if you want to include more of
the sample. To save the new S and E points, press the Done soft button (if necessary) to return
to the Sample mode page, then press either the Save soft button, or EXIT.
