Not sure if I am asking this in the correct part of these forums but I have a moving head problem.
I have 2 9/11 channel gobo moving heads by Uking. I have set up a fixture profile and everything works fine, gobos all change, colours all change and x/y movement works ok.
The problem I have is that if I set up a EFX, the head does not move, it just sits there slightly wobbling but no movement.
Am I missing a setting somewhere. I had 2 different moving heads that were 7/10 channel and they moved perfectly with EFX.

I suspect your FX is running too fast for the head to follow the movements ...

Ok so how do I slow it down, I am reasonably new to QLC+

There is a small clock symbol top left of the fx function widget (and others, like chaser, for example).
Use it to setup timing.

Or he has a problem in his fixture definition where MSB and LSB channels are being swapped?
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

Just an update and thanks for the answers. I have checked the timings with the clock and have tried increasing it to no effect. I have checked the MSB & LSB and thet seem correct so still cant get this problem sorted, Having to use scenes and chace to get the heads to move and is not as smooth as a EFX would be.
