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.
