// This example combines two features of FastLED to produce a remarkable range of
// effects from a relatively small amount of code.  This example combines FastLED's 
// color palette lookup functions with FastLED's Perlin noise generator, and
// the combination is extremely powerful.
//
// You might want to look at the "ColorPalette" and "Noise" examples separately
// if this example code seems daunting.
//
// 
// The basic setup here is that for each frame, we generate a new array of 
// 'noise' data, and then map it onto the LED matrix through a color palette.
//
// Periodically, the color palette is changed, and new noise-generation parameters
// are chosen at the same time.  In this example, specific noise-generation
// values have been selected to match the given color palettes; some are faster, 
// or slower, or larger, or smaller than others, but there's no reason these 
// parameters can't be freely mixed-and-matched.
//
// In addition, this example includes some fast automatic 'data smoothing' at 
// lower noise speeds to help produce smoother animations in those cases.
//
// The FastLED built-in color palettes (Forest, Clouds, Lava, Ocean, Party) are
// used, as well as some 'hand-defined' ones, and some proceedurally generated
// palettes.
