That is my current solution as well, using an abstraction [rand] with 
[time] to set the seed on loadbang, and [inlet]s and [outlet] for the 
respective ones in [random].

I have no opinion on the inclusion of these objects into vanilla Pd, I 
use them exclusively for setting the seed of [random], while I always 
use [z~] and [limiter~] from zexy, as well as often [list2symbol] and 
[symbol2list], e.g. for converting symbols to float.

Thanks,
Thomas
