    This needs to be done inside the synth/sampler/rompler. A polyphonic instrument handles each voice separately, and in case of some models (like e.g. some Roland romplers from the 90's, even SoundCanvas) each note you play can trigger a voice coming from a random pan position.

    This effect can't be achieved using an effect applied to a stereo sum coming from a synth (when all voices have static pan positions).

    Try using Roland SoundCanvas VSTi. It should have this feature, like the original hardware model.

    I agree with Piszpunta's comment.
    I'd also wonder if the op refers to just a pan plugin, of which there are many?
    I'll boot up Logic in a minute and tell you what I have in regards those, if it's of any use to the op.

    If you have Ableton, the LFO tool has a random setting that can be applied to pan.

    Recently I've been having fun with Pancake by cableguys, awesome panning experience but I don't think it does random

    I agree, it seems the OP asks for an individual plugin in which case "whenever they hit" could not imply per-note panning.
