Yea, binding things to MIDI is far too time consuming and difficult at 
the moment.  I've been trying to figure out what to do about this. :/  
Anyway..

It sounds like you're just getting the range wrong.  If something is 
happening when you tweak the controller, then you have that set up 
correctly (the controller number, which you can "Learn" from the 
right-click menu)

You need to set the range on the control node to be appropriate for the 
delay plugin.  It sounds like you have a really short delay time, which 
will give a filter-like effect (especially with feedback delay lines)

I believe the default for the MIDI control node is 0..1.  If the delay 
plugin uses milliseconds for it's time unit, that's a pretty short 
delay!

Try making the range, 300..1000 or something.

Any ideas about making MIDI "binding" simpler are welcome..
