I think multiple premade settings that you could choose from might be 
better than randomizing (so you could always find that sweet sound 
again) so maybe a more robust preset option could be implemented, 
possibly taking a bunch of submissions from community?

Or how about including a lmms sequence in Ardour, so you could run an 
instance of lmms in Ardour, and use all of Ardour's capabilities for the 
samples (FLstudio had this implementation in Nuendo a highend DAW)... 
That is probably way too much to add to a simple wishlist... But I could 
make a mockup if anyone is interested in seeing what I mean (it seems 
hard to explain)

I agree.  I dislike very much having to listen to the whole song just to 
fix a small bit of my drumming mistakes... it makes it virtually 
impossible to seriously mix a live recorded instrument and a digital 
lmms instrument.  This is probably my favourite suggestion of all!

This I think is a MUST.  Fix as many outstanding bugs (boring, but 
necessary)

I think Emilio and Chrissy have a good point a startup sound might be a 
good implementation
