You CAN do true lfo delay using available MOTM modules, but it's 
somewhat complicated. The preferred way would be LFO through VCA 
controlled by a delayed AR. The delay param controls the delay, and 
attack controls the fade in rate. Since we don't have a gate delay 
module in the MOTM lineup (yet!) you can't do true delay using an 800 
with this patch, just a fade in. 

Here's how you can create true delay, restricting yourself to current 
MOTM modules. It requires 3 800 EGs, a VCA, an LFO, and a 700 router.

You will create a delayed gate out of 2 EGs and the 700. The first EG 
is used just to provide a 5V level. ATTACK = 0, SUSTAIN = 10, RELEASE 
= 0, no GATE or TRIG connected, plug the OUT+ into the IOB jacks of 
the 700. So now if you switch the 700 manually using the SWITCH knob, 
the IOX output will toggle from 0 to 5V. Not particularly useful yet -
we've just created a gate, BUT it's on/off state is voltage 
controlled. 

Now plug EG2 in: GATE to kbd gate, OUT+ to 700 CV IN. Set it for 
ATTACK = 3-7, SUSTAIN = 10, RELEASE = 0. By playing with ATTACK time 
and SWITCH level, you have control over the gate delay. Play your 
keyboard and watch the 700 leds switch to get a visual indicator of 
the delay time.

Now plug EG3 in to create a DADSR: GATE to IOX, OUT+ to (in this 
case) the CV input of the VCA which controls the level of the LFO. 
Set for ATTACK = 3-7, SUSTAIN = 10, RELEASE = 0-3. ATTACK pot now 
controls the fade in rate after the delayed gate fires.
