I have one randomized preset that get XROM in some layers (but it's 
 set to none !) and BEAT GARDEN in another (with a valid instrument 
on it).......I don't know , maybe I tweaked it and don't remember 
maybe because I'm overusing this function , I'll check this out a 
little better in near future....
 
XROM

>>  These are some of the reasons I want to develop the parametizer

testing a number of possibilities, including a short cut using sysex 
commaands.

>> Unfortunately, I cannot trigger randomize via sysex EXCEPT to 
automate simulated front panel button presses.  Its a far cry from 
what I have in mind for the parametizer, but I could create a midi 
file that would automate, for example, 127 presses of the randomize 
button, storing each result in User bank 0.  Let me know if this 
would be helpful as a start.

>>BTW, to minimize the chance of an accidental/unwanted erasure of an 
entire bank of presets, I would set the mid file to operate on an 
upper device ID--eg 120.

all 4 layers.
 
>> To address an earlier suggestion, part of my goal is to have 
namable randomizer configurations.  EG, you may want to save a 
configuration file to generate "randomized" presets that use 1 or 2 
layers, each with a different ROM instrument selected from a 
customized list of instruments, where certain parameters selected 
from a customized list are "randomized," while others are left 
untouched, etc.
