Sorry, nay, I don't have Mavericks so can't test it on that. I've tested it on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and it works there. It's probable that Apple made Mavericks even more secure/limited wrt moving files around inside app bundles. Maybe that user could try running the automator...

An alternative to consider would be to connect the MIDI devices to their own MIDI busses, and then wire your patch to read from them separately.

Yeah, that's a bit too much of a work-around for my laziness. ;) Given that I find text editing within Usine a bit clunky, my own work-around is a small piece of FastScript that can load a text file and extract a requested line - indexed from 0 - from it.

Ugly method: format the number as a string with the appropriate DP flags and then convert back.
Common method: multiply the input value by 10^DP, round/trunc/ceil it, then divide it by 10^DP again.
