I assumed "continuous randomization" as opposed to one-off randomization. I
agree that this should be host-centric or UI centric. This does touch a bit
on patch loading, though. Are plugins not allowed to do patch manatgement
themselves? I know a lot of VSTs that have their own way of doing
bank/patch files that would not be happy if we told them they can't do that
anymore.

I have no idea what you're saying here..

If I can't use odd MIDI rigs to change stuff, GMPI seems less fun than VST.
I'm not saying that it seems useful for a plugin to map it's MIDI keyboard
input to individual params, but plugins today are using certain MIDI keys as
triggers to do morphs and such.
