Trigger Channel Reset Button via OSC

I just recently started using QLC+ and I am enjoying it so far. That said, I'm having a bit of a problem using this in my situation. I am using OSC to trigger scenes of a live show. Sometimes it requires me to make changes (intensity/color/speed) on the fly. Unfortunately when I make a change during a scene, I have no way of resetting all fixtures so when I switch to a new scene it will work as expected.

When you create a slider in QLC+ and select "Level" (intensity for example), you are given the opportunity to "Monitor" this slider and QLC+ will add a reset button to the slider widget. I can then create a button to trigger the reset. This works great. But is there a "Reset universe" option like there is in Simple Desk? Does anyone know how I can access this universe reset via OSC or create a reset widget of some kind that I can trigger?

Thanks!

If you want a harsh and hard reset, you can use an OSC command to stop all running functions. This leads to a 'dead lights' situation which isn't the nicest thing to see happening.
The other option would involve quite some extra work but you could create a button. Bound to that button, a scene controlling a dimmer in a loopback universe. This dimmer channel could be bound to the reset level button(s). (Multiple buttons, in this case, resetting all levels f.i.)
This all depends on your workflow...

The stop all running functions doesn't reset the lights. It just resets running functions. For now I'll script it in OSC and send a reset for those needed. It would be nice to have a fixture reset option. Even in cases where DMX causes an issue. A fixture reset option on-the-fly would be very helpful.
