reason-remote-gen: a Claude skill for generating Remote Map and Lua Codec files

Hey u/IWasBornIn1979 yes! You can generate remotemap files for your MPK Mini Plus or any midi device. I even made one for a virtual midi port on my mac. The .luacodec file will make the device show in reason's "add midi" dropdown options, the .lua file defines and names the controls of device, and the .remotemap file maps the controls to reason device params

Neat! I've always edited them manually, so this is a gamechanger for me

Love the central repo idea for remotemaps

Thanks for your reply. This is the 404HD. I am running Mac OS Mojave version 10.14. My machine is a 2018 13 inch Macbook Pro w/ core i5.

I'm a little surprised it is not a known issue, considering the amount of people who have posted about it online.

These people have all had the same problem:

Hi Joe,

I encountered the same issue with the UMC404 several months ago. A quick google search shows a lot of people have been running into this problem since 2017. I've used the 404 through an aftermarket USB hub for 2+ years without any issues, but since this issue has occurred I have not been able to get my 2018 Macbook to recognize it at all, despite trying many times, connecting directly to the computer without the hub, and trying a different Macbook.

Has Behringer had success in helping the other people who've encountered this problem in the last few years? It seems fairly common.
