In the stand-alone particle system for Softimage, there was a very useful noiseparameter.  
I often used it like this:  
Create a Cube Emitter, Emit particles with speed set to 0 and the volume parameter turned on (as opposed to surface or point), add some noise and you've got a swarm of insects. Really useful stuff.  
Does this exist in XSI? (please say yes!)

Thanx,  
Peter

Not in v 1.5x, but v2 has support for Perlin and Brownian noise.
