I have a question on controlling uplighting. I'll list my scenario. I'm unsure of how I need to setup my VC to accomplish this, so any help is much appreciated.

I currently have two glow-totems (par cans), 2 movers (on top of totems) and 6 uplights.

What I would like to do is to be able to dial in the uplights to a manual color profile at the start of an event and then at time of dance, be able to select which uplights stay on that color and which ones follow my chases I've set up. I know that I can do this with a combination of simple desk and VC, but would like a button to enable the chase for that light or disable the manually set color.

I'm still fairly new to using QLC+, but am loving it so far and how awesome this community is.

I've attached the most recent file I've got setup

Sorry to say, you CAN't select which fixtures will respond to commands given ...
The only solution I see here is using submasters for every group of up lighters. You will have to program them, using bound inputs, or use the fader manually...
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore
