Correct.
Gigbar Move (non ILS) has 3Ch, 17Ch and 35Ch

Gigbar Move ILS has also different Channel Modes between US and EU versions:
US Rev 9-11 has 3Ch, 29Ch, 51Ch
US Rev 3-8 has 3Ch, 28Ch and 50Ch
EU Rev 3 has 3Ch, 30Ch, 52Ch

You have to load the correct profile, matching to the multi fixture you have (Gigbar Move-non ILS, Move EU ILS, Move US ILS rev 3-8 or Move US ILS rev 9-11.

They can all be loaded from the Online Library (WTOOLS)
You may want to delete the preloaded Gigbar Move from Wolfmix/WMX1 and update with the latest profile from the Online Library

Using the "correct" profile does not automatically mean using a "working" profile"!
Profiles coming from the fixture manufacturer, as they are the only ones who know what is going on DMX inside their fixtures! But they do not know what CONTROLLER a user is going to use. Every DMX controller is working differently between dumb fader desks and a fully programmable professional controllers. So the manufacturer only provide the very basics in their profiles (similar as working with a dumb fader desk).
Now you use Wolfmix and as an automated DMX controller, it sees values in the profile already as "pre-defined actions" (flashing, no OFF and such strange behaviors).
Now it is on YOU to edit the profile to your Controller needs. The "Editor" for this is the Profile Builder (..I prefer the WEB version over the Wolfmix built-in one: https://cloud.nicolaudiegroup.com/#/dashboard ).
