i still can't get this to work :O(

it just shuffles slice zero, no matter how many times i run it

if i change currentslice to zero instead of -1, then it just repeats slice 1 and never advances

when it reaches the cycle boundary it goes a bit bonkers as well - it sees to halve the slice length - weird

Try this one.  The bug was that the math assumes that that subcycles
are numbered from zero but the Shuffle function wants them numbered from 1.
I just tested this one and it seems to work.  From this basis we could do other things
like binding it to several MIDI notes and having the note number select which slice
to play.

Oh and Per, I'm not getting any clicks when I do this so this may have been fixed
in 1.43.  One thing to check though, open the Global Parameters window and check
the value for "Fade Frames", make sure it is 128.
