Track strips with independent speeds and lengths

This could open possibilities to interesting polyrhythms or just different ways of arranging and writing patterns without having to be limited to a global BPM or Renoise’s current clip properties of all clips in the same row sharing one length and speed.

The only way I see implementing this idea currently would be to create a large clip with different instruments triggering at different repetitions. Ex. One instrument is playing half notes. Another instrument is playing 16th triplets but its phrase is 3/4 of the first instrument and when the clip comes to an end both phrases have been timed to end at exactly the same time during their repeated durations in one large clip. The only problem with this would be the current clip size limit. Different phrase lengths may never sync starting times together after multitudes of repetitions.

You can use the delay column to create triplets and other fractional poly-rhythm sizes.
A tool to divide these proportions to the current pattern size that you can fool around with (or at least that makes your life easier on this matter):
