All pro features are listed in the manual.
I suggest starting at page 5… There, there are tutorials which demonstrate the power of padshop
Page 9 shows some sample information…
And yes, you can drag and drop samples into padshop… Even from your desktop of some other folders on the pc. The samples will then be listed in the sample browser section in padshop under 'user samples,.
" EXCLUSIVE PADSHOP PRO FEATURES

I am happy that i upgraded if you havent noticed by now
I have Padhop Pro, however sometime for broad compatiblity reasons I’d like to use the Padshop Basic version too.
In the Plug-in information window there is just one item, the Padshop.vst3.
How to access the Basic version if I have already a Padshop Pro in my eLicencer?
I think ‘basic’ and ‘pro’ are actually the same file, and that upgrading simply unlocks the extra pro features. So, in other words, there’s no ‘basic’ version to revert to.
the sounds can be identified in the Padshop Preset Browser.
Clicking on the “Setup Window layout” button in the lower-left corner of the Preset Browser and enabling “Location Tree” will allow to click on the “+” button beside the Padshop entry. There, the Padshop and Padshop Pro entries are separated (Factory and Factory Pro), so one can selectively display and load the presets for the two versions.
