That's a really good point. I have an original (G1) Nord Modular, and  
one of the coolest features is a bank of 128 x128 'random' patterns.  
In fact, they're not random at all, but there are a lot of them. The  
cool thing is you can assign a MIDI controller to pick patterns from a  
bank, and control any parameter you like from the resulting output. Of  
course, when you save the patch, the patterns get saved too.
