... change the seed for random generators?

Is there a way, maybe through a layer script, to change the seed for random generators like particle distribution, noisy channel etc.?
In my particular case I have set up a particle layer to randomly distribute characters along a street but I would like to try different distributions.
Help!

Thank you. I really have to look into and get started with scripting. Don't even know where to put those lines of code.

if you're interested in writing scripts - this will give you a start..

Find "SetRandomSeed" in the particle layer tool, and change the values? Just a guess. I haven't tried it.

this will do much the same as the "randomise" button on the standard particle layer tool except that it pre-generates a set of random numbers so you can step forwards and backwards through them; and it stores information with the particle layer so that the same set of numbers can be accessed across multiple activations of the tool / moho.
more in the "readme" in the zip.
hope that helps!
