Maybe a more musical way to "humanize" would be to increase velocity

1/8th or 1/16th notes. Or an option to increase on the backbeats,
decrease elsewhere. Sort of like a step sequencer where you program
the delta (relative to the input) at each step instead of the absolute
value.
You'd need tempo information for any of that, I guess. Might be
easier when Jack MIDI is more widely available.
What about using pitch bend to slightly "detune" some notes? Might
make rolls sounds a little less mechanical...
Dave, have you seen this software I've just
found?

This is quite close to what I want to achieve.
I took a look at it after seeing your link to it. Very interesting, I'd
like to check it out.
After I've read your comments, and those by
Frank and Stephen, I
believe that the possibilty to choose different probability curves
(linear, gaussian, exponential, reverse exponential) is the next
feature to add.
I agree. These things are at least worth trying, and they may inspire
some musical usage we haven't yet considered. I love surprises... :)
Best,
