Wow, I've never even heard of those. I guess that's the answer, a delay having cv inputs to 
control the different parameters. Then you could control it with anything. Where the heck 
did you find something like that? or even know that it existed?

> But I have to ask,  what the heck does assigning noise to delay time do?  

That is one thing, I wish you could filter the noise in different ways before sending it to the 
delay. but still, it is an option to play with.

I think it would be the same as sending the signal from any VCO to the cv input on your 
Kazu digi.  
Remember too, on the EVO you can have something controlling the frequency of Osc. 3 or 
4 before you send it to the delay.
