Solved, thanks Vade & George.

I reduced my composition back to using only a Random patch with the 2 published 
inputs and 1 published output.

I instantiated a QCRenderer with the object, and before calling 
valueForOutputKey, I use this function:

[renderer renderAtTime:[NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate]  arguments:nil];

Thanks,
T
