Just want to add that Ableton Live can also randomize VST effect
parameters. It's done by using "Follow Action" settings of "Clips". A
"Clip" is a, mostly looping, chunk of control data (can be Audio or
MIDI as well). The Follow Action will let you define a point in the
loop where the playback is shifted to another Clip and you are also
able to set the probability for this to occur and of course an
alternative if the shift should not happen. The most useful
alternative is to shifting playback for another clip is "replay from
start" (of the same clip). Then it will again reach the point of the
random action and maybe takes a different path from there. This is of
course not total random because you have to load the Clips with
curves for changing different VST parameters, but if you create
enough such clips it gets quite non-predictable.
