Feature Request: Select/Load Random Preset Button

It's nothing new: add a button on top or at the bottom of the preset selection tree which triggers the tree to select a random preset.

It should be very easy from a programmatical viewpoint. Use your languages random function and tree.select on the range of 0 and tree.length.

The advantage on doing it on the tree directly is that you can even filter by preset type and then press the random button - filtering the results of clicking the random button as well.

In theory it should be really easy to implement it and it would be a really nice feature because of (at least) these two reasons:

  1. Having a large amount of presets sometimes makes it difficult to find an entry point. Randomly selecting a preset at the beginning of a session may set your mood without thinking about which vst to select first.
  2. Scrolling around the tree randomly and then select one of the presets is not sufficent: e.g. you then randomly land on the preset "electro pop" but if you don't like it, you have to scroll up and down randomly again due to all aligning presets are alphabetically "electro" type presets as well. So this "random select" often only brings you to a group of presets rather than a completely random preset.

Please add this feature in Kontakt or even better in Komplete Kontrol - and please don't add it in a new release but push it with a free update (I already couple of Komplete Packs and supported you a lot) <3
