Thought of a great idea, that has probably been discussed. Correct me if my wrong.
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.
This probably sounds convoluted.
Like I said, not sure if someone has already talked about this. I haven’t put a whole lot of thought into this yet but wanted to get the idea out while it was fresh in my head.
Here’s a topic from March 2012 that might be of interest to you, as it somewhat applies to your description above:
http://forum.renoise…d-group-tracks/
Basically if we could load up tabbed projects containing clips/songs, all of them being routed to a main output and master section, things could also be configured in a way so that each tabbed project had their own “pattern arranger” independent of each other, including tempo changes, pattern lengths, etc.
Also see the initial topic back in 2011 on running multiple Renoise instances together (tabbed/multiple songs, Rewire-like Renoise protocol, or in a new third arranger wrapper): http://forum.renoise…oises-renoises/
