Default buy, make an LED controller?

Alright, i'm looking to either buy or make an LED controller, i'm not sure if what i want to do is considered complicated but i think it is.
I want to have a controller that will control (3) three outputs, most likely lazer LEDs (12volts).
Here is a break down of how i want it to work;

When power is supplied it will turn on outputs 1 then 2 (off) 3 then 1 (off) 2 then 3 (off) 2 then 1 (off) 3 then 1 (off), repeat.

The idea came from dance lights, not strobes but the ones that are controlled to work in unison sort of with each other (one on second later other one on then a brief pause next two so on and so forth).

here is a sort of animation of what i mean, I'm trying to think of a good way to explain it, hopefully some one will understand and be able to help me out.

I found a video that has DJ lights doing what im talking about, mostly just the beginning , obviously here they are working with the music but i just want it a programmed thing
Dj Lights

Thank you

I've done it before using the printer port and some led's. With a program you can create different sequences with the led's or even make them go to music.
