sorry f, meant to send to list:
you could assign a midi controller (knob, fader, etc) to a delay time 
parameter.
maybe something like this in ecasound(except with delay):
http://ecasound.seul.org/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html#midi-io
you may be able to specify the parameter range and possibly assign 2 
controllers (
for coarse/fine) to the delay time parameter so you could "shuttle" the 
delay time in real time by ear.  i've done something like this before 
except with eq filters but its been while.  i'll see if i can find what 
i did.
