Outputs are handled by shift registers as the atMega328 doesn't have enough PWM outputs. The number of channels can easily be increased by adding more shift registers. For my purposes, 4 boxes with 5 LED strips each was the most effiecient for cable management.

Channel allocation for each output (20 channels total):

(1) red
(2) green
(3) blue
(4) strobe

Strobe:

0-19        off
20 - 189    slow - fast
190 - 205   slow random
206 - 219   fast random
220 - 255   off
