will slightly randomizing all parameters make a plugin synth sound more analog?

or "lagging" the envelope while modulating the lag

Nope, that would be pretty useless IMO. Besides, it's not directly possible in Zebra.

He didnt mention zebra.

Tip: if you have a sound with a strong filter envelope, randomly modulating the Attack can work wonders

True, but because he replied to my post about "randomly modulating the Attack" (only possible in Zebra), I assumed he meant envelope delay. Anyway, Diva's Lag time isn't a modulation target. I know he didn't mention Diva either, but I assume again...

I assumed he was gonna use a diff plugin to modulate a synths parameters via vst midi...?

Indeed Howard, I was refering to my experience with Diva. I don't own Zebra... yet
I use Numerology as my main and only MIDI sequencer/modulation generator (random or sequenced, or anything in between). Numerology = modulation heaven ! And when combined to Diva...

In the natural world, all things are in motion. The deviations you are describing would create a type of fractal equation of the original patch. However, unless a true infinite variable equation was written into the program, eventually, the variations you suggest would equal out. Actually being able to audibly differentiate such variables would be highly subjective.

So: If it sounds right, use it.

Good Lord, I need sleep.
