Eos Effects won't run even when put on channels

Issue

I have an effect that previously worked and my channels are working other than this. When trying to put an effect on one of my lighting channels, I can see it applied to the channel, but the effect does not appear to be running still. This is true for all effects.

Explanation of Issue

There are several reasons this could occur, but one of the more common is that there is a Global FX fader on the board that has been lowered to 0 and effects now cannot run at a rate larger than 0.

Solution

  1. Open tab 36, Fader Config. Search through your faders for a fader type Labeled Global FX.
  2. When found, the number circled in blue will tell you which fader page and position it is on.

  3. If you have a physical fader wing, make sure the fader in question is not set to 0. If you do not have a physical fader wing, you can check virtual faders on tab 28 like below.
