Ion solution to dual random effect

I don't think there is any need to "tie these effects together" - just write 2 absolute effects (one for colours, one for intensities) with random timing as appropriate, and then run both effects.

Well the absolute multi-intensity effect works, but it seems that using the color palettes in an absolute effect does not. I saved five different colors in palettes, checked that they exist and work, then tossed them into an absolute effect and...

nothing...

No changes are registering on the channels that I have selected and sent to that effect (not even just the hue and saturation). Again, the intensity effect on the same channels works. But even if I just turn on the color change absolute effect I get no changes on the channel tiles on the board. Ergo, nothing is happening. So I can't even begin to experiment with how these two effects will play together because one refuses to work.

Are there problems with palettes in Absolute effects? The video, in particular, shows this should be very easy.

Can you email your showfile to me?

Just let me know to which channels you are trying to apply the colour effect.

I'm not sure if this is at all related to the console behavior, but if you're dealing with LEDs, color and intensity are connected.  The intensity parameter is only really virtual.  If you apply a random flicker to each component color in a range that gives you acceptable color combinations, you should get a nice flame effect that varies both color and intensity.
