2) How a control voltage varies in level over time controlling a parameter of something other than gain or audio level.

Delay (Digital, Analogue)

2) In more advanced systems used in very large venues, delay can be used to time the arrival of the signal to the speakers in the back of the room so that people in the back hear the sound coming from those speakers at the same time that the sound coming from the speakers in the front of the room arrives.
