I see what you mean: you'd have a random value generated that was 
between x and y values rather than 0 and x? Me, I wanted bi-polar random 
values.
Another good way to get random values taken from a specific list of 
values is to grab them from another track. You could set the other track 
to a random order but with 16 values you've set to be useful in your 
receiving pattern. Then use the grab events to get their value. You 
would grab any one of 16 values at random, more if you use multiple 
patterns in a playlist.

I should probably knock up a load of pattern examples as sysex so you 
can grab them and try them out. I use a lot of random functions, usually 
randomly masking ties and set note or set velocity events but sometimes 
randomly masking note randomise events, repeats, direction changes and 
so on. It's a whole wacky random world out there... ;)
