I must have missed that in the initial criteria.

Still, it could be done with a gate delay and an EG and maybe a slew
limiter to soften up the envelope - depending on how you use the
pitch bend. If you do not start bending the pitch until after the
note on gate has occured, you could delay that note on gate and use
it to start and evelope at some specifc time later. Of course, I
think of this primarily from a studio setting when you have multiple
events coming from a software sequence through a multi-channel
MIDI/CV. With a software sequencer and a multi channel CV this
becomes trivial. Simply copy the track with the pitchbend to a new
track and offset the time by what ever value you like.

I do, however, see your point of how the problem becomes more
complicated when you are dealing with real time performance
controllers. Come to think of it, why couldn't you use an envelope
follower and a VC slew limiter to do this The envelope follower
will basically output the same CV that the real time CV provides, you
could then use the VC slew limiter to offset the start time. Maybe.
maybe not. I'll have to try this.
