Bounce your track down, chop it into segments, Move the parts around randomly. Then change in the original project file accordingly. You can create some strange variations and switch ups like this.

Yes, midi can be used to play other 'instruments' thus mirroring the main tune/theme in of the song whilst adding variation for the listener.

It's all about the arrangements for me, these can make or break a tune IMO. You can take a solid idea or theme and turn it into a great tune with a good arrangement. It's all about knowing how to create tension and release. When to push elements to the front or when to strip it all down...
