amplify.*:<edit.0> allows you to amplify a sample. You can amplify by a percentage, or let AudioWorks pick the largest amplification that will not degrade quality.
centre.*:<edit.0> moves the sample up/down in the window. You can center the sample on the marker or the average position, or add a value in the range -1.0 to +1.0 to each sample.
echo.*:<edit.0> applies an echo to the sample. Each echo follows the last by (delay) seconds, and is softer than the last by (attenuation) percent.
extend.*:<edit.0> allows you to extend the sample to give yourself more room to work. The amount to extend by can be entered in terms of samples or seconds playtime.
filter.*:<edit.0> applies either a hi-pass or lo-pass digital filter to the sample, which can help to remove noise artifacts.

reverse.*:<edit.0> reverses the sample data.
