I want to create a "randomize" button in patcher that will assign a random value to various controls inside other plugins within patcher. There are various methods of generating a continuous random output but I can not come up with a way to generate a single random value on a button press. Any ideas or suggestions?

How can I randomize a third party plugin knob inside patcher using a single button press?

you could use Fruity Envelope Controller but that does require note input

Hmm so how would I go about doing this? I imagin it would be something like Button > MIDI Out (set to output a note) > Envelope Controller > Plugin Knob Automation Input?

are you able to set midi out to output a note?
if you are then, yeah i guess that works, i didn't know you could do that
because "buttons" in patcher, should just control values 0% or 100%

Yeah so I just tried it. I linked a button to the first knob in MIDI out and set the knob when turned to output a MIDI note. I then linked that to an envelope controller and set the envelope controller to random and then linked the output of the envelope controller to the knob I want the random value on. This works but reverts back to a value of 0. It does not keep the random value set. Is there any way to make the envelope controller constantly output the random value or not have it default back to 0 once triggered?

Ok I figured out how to do it. You need to turn on the random-on-midi-in settings inside the envolope controller
