I thought there already was a randomise option, but regardless something
like this is totally on my list of things to do. These are things that I
think could be interesting:
* totally random parameters
* starting with an existing patch, randomise only a few parameters, or
change their values slightly from their existing settings
* merge two patches - e.g. take average of all parameters, or by take
parameters randomly from one of the initial patches
This is something I might look at some time after I've done my Proteus
2000 family driver.

You're right, this is ridiculously complicated!
