How Do I Clear an App's Internal Clipboard

Me and @noisneil are trying a macro for Logic Pro X where it copies a Finder's file path (or the file itself, there's also that option) to the system clipboard, then goes back to Logic and pastes it to create a new track with those settings. This method works as long as I don't hit CMD+C to copy something inside Logic (such as MIDI or audio region). Once I copy something to the clipboard, the macro runs, but then pastes that other thing I copied (MIDI / Audio region) instead of the Finder's fil…

Interestingly, Danny can paste patches into his older version of Logic, and I can't in my up-to-date one, so maybe Apple made the internal clipboard even more tightly sealed...? All speculation at the moment.

@iamdannywyatt, does it work consistently for you if you reveal the file in Finder, copy and then paste into Logic?
