Step-based Effect(s) with color change?

you can have two effects running at the same time. they can also affect the same channels, but never the same parameters. so if you have one effect for the intensity of channels 81 through 85 and another effect only affecting their colors, then you can have those two effects running at the same time.

Thanks!

I tried, but I could not get the effect I wanted.

Problem 1:

I know I can do a step-based effect for intensity as effect 1.

However I wanted something more randomized, so I tried a linear effect that holds the intensity for 1 sec and then fades out for another second.

That works, but I now wanted to make 3 groups with my 5 lights (it then makes nrs. 1+4, 2+5 and 3 as groups) and then use "random grouping". As soon as I use "random grouping" the effect starts to randomize not the grouping but the timing. My lights start to flash very very fast in not really random groups and then has a long pause and then flashes ao other light very fast again and so on. Really confusing... Is this a bug?

What I expect as behaviour is that the effect randomly picks 2 of the 5 lights and turns them on, fades them out and takes another 2 of the 5 and so on...

How do I do this? Am I thinking it wrongly?

Problem 2:

As effect 2 I created an absolute effect with 6 actions:

1 turn param red to 100 hold for 1 sec

2 turn param red to 0 hold for 1 sec

3 +4 same with green

5+6 same with blue

What I expected was the first lights being red, the next being green, the next being blue.

What I got was all lights in blue and then one in a red circling through...

I just don't get it....

Well - I found a solution with a step-based random chaser as effect 1
and color pallettes in an absolute effect 2
