I set up 9 actions with a bluetooth number pad, each to insert drum rudiments in Logic using the "Insert / Type / Paste Custom Text" action - but instead of inserting the rudiment assigned to the associated action, they all just paste the latest copied rudiment.  
Any idea why is this happening and if it can be corrected???

Is there another way this could be implemented?  
It takes a long time to write rudiments note by note, and would be exponentially faster if I could assign rudiments to be inserted via the numpad keys.  
Thanks.

I’ll soon check with 10.14! You probably can’t upgrade to a more recent macOS, right?
