What is the point of clicking some random button a zillion times until something more or less reasonable comes up?

it's called being inspired in unexpected ways? Sometimes we just want to hear a sound that we haven't thought about or intended.

Yeah, it can be awesome to be self-surprised during the creative process.

The only thing that has influence on the random-result it is the 'seed' (programmer's joke).

To answer the question: Currently not. But it is possible the extend the functionality here if there is demand

I would be interested in having more adjustments for that feature...

The dinosaur Simmolator has a randomize button. Mostly makes junk sounds, but you can get some good ones too.

That's true for Cakewalk as well.
I don't know about superb but it is able to randomize vsti plugins.

Great thread!

Lots of synths I've not heard before, and I also didn't realise Massive had a randomise function!?

Interested hardware synths too, as I have a Hydrasynth and Virus TI which offer this feature and I use them a lot as I'm not so great at programming stuff myself.

Minipol from karanyi Sounds has a randomize features(s).

Bleass Alpha has a randomizer.

I just picked up a hardware unit(tabletop VA) … Skulpt by Modal. It has a randomize function as well.

Just got a Waldorf Pulse 2 and it has a random patch generator - every time you select patch #500, a new preset is generated. Some of them are terrible or silent, but many of them are better than the horrible factory patches

Sorry to bring the cliché, but reaper has a script that will randomize selected/all/except-protected parameters with specified amounts of delta from the current value 'mpl Randomize Track FX parameters', it does a very good job of making any synth have a randomize function, even ones where some parameters would break a 'randomize all parameters' feature.

List of synths with "randomize" function?
