Interesting article.
I don’t think it can be done via the transformer since there is no logic in it to figure out where you are within the project.
But automating by the delay is pretty easy. In the attached I’m ramping from 50ms before the beat to 50ms after it. This is of course more than you’d want to really do but I wanted the timing change to be real obvious compared to the click. The automation is just a straight line so it is smooth enough over 12 bars (although abrupt when the loop cycles back to the start). I also randomized the position of the midi notes between -11 and +11 ticks (120 ticks = 16th note by default) to add additional and probably unnecessary variation.
I initially tried doing this using the MIDI Modifiers in the inspector and automating the min/max values to randomize Position. But oddly the max parameter disappeared after I automated the min. So I switched to the insert plug for MIDI Modifiers which was better anyway since it had an actual delay parameter in ms.
