I don’t want to derail this thread too much, but thanks for all the excellent thought and effort  Brock.  I dig it.

It turns out there are a slew of “detuned piano” performances on YouTune.  It’s actually a *thing*.

It also turns out that TremoloPan can be used to create random (or otherwise oddball) dropouts, and that trips me up enough to be similar a random/oddball latency generator.  I suspect other algos can do this too.

Finally, I love your idea of a tiny stand-alone MIDI unit that does nothing but generate random/oddball/periodic CC messages that can be applied to detune and/or others parameters.  That’d be like a Lo-Fi Converter/Modulator to add a whole new dimension to quite a few existing algos.
