This feature combines the functions of adding an Object and adding a soundset or an audio file to the soundset. When selected, a finder window will open and you can navigate to a desired folder to import an audio file.
Tip: MacOs users can preview the file in the opened finder window.
Once imported to the selected parent Object, a soundset will be attached and the audio file will be imported to the soundset.
If you select multiple audio files, a unique Object - soundset combination will be created for each file.
Add Audio → As Soundsets...

Delete
