Running multiple cues on one fixture

Hi,
first off sorry if this was already asked, I did a quick search but didn't find anything and right now I don't have time to go through all the 13 pages.
What I want to ask you is, if there is any way to run 2 cues on the same fixture at the same time?
I would like to have 2 sets of cues, one for the movements and one for the colors, for example: I select one cue that make the scanner do a circle, and then I select a cue that changes the color to red, while it's still doing the circle. I tried with multicue, but even if I let everithing except pan and tilt to off, and on the other everything except color to off it just stops moving ans oli changes color.
Well thank you for your help.

You need to enable 'Cue multiselect always enabled' in the preferences-extra options of Freestyler.
Then you can start multiple Cues and will work like you want it to.
FreeStyler works with LTP. But there is a bug that I reported a few days ago.
When using pre-configured shapes like the circle, then the LTP technique won't work in Freestyler. Instead, as long as the 'Circle sequence' is enabled, your fixtures will keep on circling, regardless if you select another cue with fixed positions.

Hello, I do the same thing your trying to accomplish by using the "Submaster". Each channel of the submaster gets put into a Cue. See this for more info:

Meaning last takes precedence, LTP also stands for lowest takes precedence.

Hi,

I don't know why the first time didn't worked.

LTP means "Latest Takes Precedence". Wich is pretty much the same as "Last Takes Precedence"
...
But LTP should never mean "Lowest Takes Precedence", that is LoTP. There is a lot confusion about this.
So for once and for all (because on many other forums there is always discussion about this):
LTP: Latest Takes Precedence
LoTP: Lowest Takes Precedence
HTP: Highest Takes Precedence
When controlling intelligent lights, you normally use LTP.
When controlling conventional lights, you normally use HTP.
Under some circumstances you can use LoTP on any type of lights for some 'special' functions.
FreeStyler only uses LTP in its Cue, on all types of lights. Its not a big problem for me. But it can be nice to use HTP only on conventional lights.
Many (if not all) hardware controllers do it that way.

Agree with that, LTP as far as i am concerned has always meant
Latest
Takes
Precedence in the lighting industry.
