Wellll... randi (the ending 'i' is important) "interpolates"  
between values...
this means it smoothly moves between values: your 'arand' variable will
produce output at the audio rate (the leading 'a' is the clue here), 
and this will smoothly change over the the duration of the note. A "pan".

Perhaps what you wanted was an "i" value? (i = "initialization"  
value: set only during
initialization pass) Try changing the 'arand' to 'irand'.


Again Welcome!
