pulsing 3-color LED''s
Archiver

I'd like to do something like strobe a handful of 3-color led's so I can
do smooth color fading. This looks, I think, something like pulsing out 3
simultaneous pulsout's per LED.
Obviously, with a 555 timer and some cap's, one could do a constant pulse,
and with a stamp or a pic dedicated per each channel of pulse, one could
do it from a master microcontroller, but I'm wondering if there's some
better way to do it since even PIC's would be somewhat expensive for this
task, and 555's aren't programmable.
Is there something like an IC which will pulse continuously that can be
programmed to the pulse duration? Is there another methodology I could
use?
