I've never tried it, but I suspect so; certainly you can make the delay
track the keyboard, and the delay times in the audio range are `tuned' to
notes, but I don't know how those two features interact.  Dave Smith is
really keen on this sort of thing (I seem to recall that he actually
suggested using the delay lines to do various physical-modeling type stuff).

You should really go to the DSI website and download the manual -- it
includes a picture of the voice signal flow, plus of course details on all
the parameters/modulation-routings/etc.  It's fairly short, but
well-written.
