For the color fades, you should be able to create two or three color palettes,
then fade between them - either via an effect or looping cues. I accomplished
a similar effect in the last show I designed by patching the fixture's color
parameters to individual channels - then created the effect using those
channels.

The chase would be a step effect - although I am uncertain if you can get a
random intensity. Explain a bit more exactly what you are trying to
accomplish.
