Set faders into 0 and turn off sound trigger widgets

Hello to everyone!
I need to reset all functions and faders by external trigger over MIDI on Virtual Console. I am creating a complete lighting score in a side program and transmitting the commands to the QLC via MIDI. I need all values to be reset before starting playback of this score, including the values of the faders and the enabling of audio triggers.
1. How can I reset the value of the fader on Virtual Console by another button?
2. How can I turn off sound triggers widgets (not turn on / off, but turn it off) with another button or midi event?
I need it to use for use on musical clip shooting when I need to repeat identical light for many times.

1. Could be solved by using a collection and calling that. When you reset the scene behind a fader, the fader should reset also. The problem here is that intensity channels use the HTP (Highest Takes precedence) rule and these are tricky to really reset when other functions are running. When you change your fixture to LTP, resetting won't pose a problem.
2. Not. A control bound to a feature always toggles. Unless you create some kind of chaser with channels in a loopback universe resetting things. But it will quickly become very complex since you cannot bind your midi-commands to features anymore (their inputs are used by the loopback-reset), meaning that now midi would need its own loopback magic and combined with the reset logic... equals complexity.
Did you already try 'Stop all currently running functions'? A hard resetting everything (total blackout)! But here I'm afraid that your midi-signals will not be synced anymore...

Thank you for such a detailed answer!
1. I use the Slider in Playback mode with Scene. In this case, unfortunately, the slider cannot be reset by turning on the Scene, or I did not understand something
2. Yes, I successfully used 'Stop all currently running functions' and it works perfectly but don't switch off Audio Triggers.

It seems to me I found how to reset Slider. You need to make button with Flash function and Adjust Function Intensity with 0 value.

Good catch... How did you "Adjust function Intensity with 0 value?" in a flash scene?
