"textContent": "Hi all.\n\nI'm trying to drop files on to an app, specifically this free sampler, in case anybody wants to try it.\n\nhttps://audiomodern.com/soundbox/\n\nThey say there's a way to do it from the menu, but I don't see an import option in the menu. Also, copy and paste doesn't work, I've tried that already, unless I'm doing it wrong. Here's what I'm doing:\n\n1. Unzip a free instrument.\n2. Go into the folder in Finder, get to the soundpack file.\n3. Interact twice.\n4. Vo-right to the actual file.\n5. Hit Vo-comma, it says it's marked for dragging.\n6. Cmd-tab to either the standalone app window, or the plugin window in Logic, both do the same thing.\n7. Hit Vo-period to drop. It says the item is no longer in view.\n\nIIRC you also have to import some things into Pianoteq this way, which I'm planning on buying soon. SO a way to solve this would be awesome. I don't know if there are any tricks I need to do like resizing windows or something, and if there are I don't know how to do them, I know next to nothing about manipulating windows on the Mac, since it seems largely like a visual thing I didn't need to know about until now, maybe.\n\nIf anybody knows the secret, I'd really appreciate your wisdom. Thanks in advance for any help.",
