Hello everyone. I've been searching and I don't know if someone has asked about this exact function before.
Basically: I'm busking.

I want to have color scenes on the "color grid", and color sequences on the "buttons grid". As you can see, the color grid and the buttons grid are in different frames, and even in different solo frames.

Here's a screenshot:

I want the color grid so I can choose any color at any moment. But if I suddenly want to switch some fixtures from "simple color" to "color sequence" by hitting just a button... how can I do this? Is this possible?
I tried doing it with a script, but it does not work since "a sequence turned on by a script only stays on while the script is on".

There is an easy way to achieve this: set all your Fixtures to LTP (Latest Takes Presedence).

If you take a closer look at my workspace you will recognise a similar kind of "color Grid" in the panel at the Bottom Left side (i only added SubMasters for Top, Mid and Bottom, a Slider and Buttons to set the Fade Speed, a Top Bar that lets you set all panels to one color at once and a side bar that does the same for fader Levels).
Next to it you will find two panels (Color Changer and Pulse) where i launch my RGB matrices (i only added a multi page frame with 6 pages controlled by the 6 grey buttons on the left, a submaster on the right and separate speed dials for Run and Fade times at the top).
In the past i posted an (earlier) version of those panels here: viewtopic.php?t=16088

As i use LTP only, i can first set a "base color", then launch a RGB matrix that will take over control and when i stop the RGB matrix QLC will automaticaly go back to the previous situation.

LTP, that is a good idea, thank you so much!
