Which method do you use writing the notes to the MIDI port? It seems you're
not using the standard way, because you explicitly say: one at a time.
The xbios call, Midiws (xbios 12), lets you write a complete string to the
MIDI port. Note that's not a C-style string: you must supply a count (number
of bytes to send minus one; a 2-byte integer) and the start address. The   
random function you spoke of could be the value of the start pointer on the
stack if you thought this function had only one parameter X-). Hope this
helps?
