    I started coding a quick proof of concept for recording chasers in real time for a show. The code is forked on my github.
    https://github.com/lelazary/qlcplus
    To use it, set up a show and add a chaser and set the per-step for
    the duration. There is now a rec button next to the play and stop. Press the rec button and then play the show. Based on the fixtures in the
    scene, it will map the inputs where 0 is the first bar in the scene, 1
    is the second etc. For now I am using a midi input, so I mapped 0 to
    value 128 which is the lowest c on the keyboard. When you hit the rec
    again it will stop. To see the values click away from the chaser and
    then back again.
    I coded this in a couple of hours as a proof of concept. This might
    be highly buggy, but I wanted to see if there are any other solutions
    for this before going forward. The method using a separate midi software going to virtual console does not work for me (I want this to work on
    the pi, and there are not allot of resources).
    I love QLC+, and in my option this is the one thing thats missing from it.

    Thanks,

    Hello Lior, sorry for the delay.
    It sounds like an interesting functionality.

    A few little requests:
    - if the code is ok and tested, can you please send me a pull request on Github ?
    - can you also give an example how to use the recording feature ? For example which DAW you used, MIDI routing, etc...
    A video showing it would be even better

    It's gonna take a few days before I can process this, among other inputs that came out lately

    Thanks

    Thanks for the response,
    The code still needs some more work, so I am going to wait a while before sending a pull request. I was just checking if no one else is working on it, and if there are any other better ways of doing this. I am trying to finish my Halloween display so I will need to finish the code before that. I will to wrap it up in a couple of weeks as well as documentations and a video.

    Thanks again,
