I'm not in front of my Mac + AN1xEdit right and don't recall a method
in which you can randomize a bank of voices. Never been much of a fan
for patch randomizers...

However, if you have access to a Wintel machine, there is a free app
called Genetix for download in the File setion
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files here at Yahoo! Groups
which does specifically what you ask.
