Pattern Matrix: Linked/referenced Matrices?

Here are a few words taken directly from taktik’s 2.5 beta announcement thread:

Whats planned for next updates?

We usually can not promise exact release dates and plans, but this time
its “very likely” that we’ll throw in a Renoise 2.6 release right after
this release. Well, soon, as soon as 2.5 went final. This mainly will be
a “Renoise nerds” release - in a positive way.

For this release we already are working on integrating a scripting
language into Renoise, actually already some of the new features in
Renoise 2.5 are built with it, which will allow you to (and more):

OSC support, create interactive MIDI controller scripts.

For example: control Renoise with a Monome, Mackie Control and so on,
without having to manually “map” the controller. Just plug in the
controller and you’re ready to go.

Extend Renoise with the features you always wanted:

Just like Extensions in for example Firefox, you will be able to extend
Renoise with the features you want, like beatslicing, note shuffling,
auto composing algorthms, whatever. Thoise scripts allow bidirectional
comminication with Renoise, but not just with the song, as we have
it now for the XRNS tools.

You will also have the ability to write custom Renoise GUIs for your
scripts, assign keyboard shorcuts and so on, to perfectly integrate
them to Renoise.

More details about this will follow later, after the Renoise 2.5 release
was done.
