Sure. The Geture System is used for slowish LFOs (or slow envelopes, if Loop is off) with arbitrary wave shapes, playing at an arbitrary time relationship to the Pulser cycle. Each GesturePlayer has a check box and popup menu labeled ConformTime. If this box is checked, the GesturePlayer scales the tempo to whatever relationship to the Pulser cycle the ConformTime popup menu specifies.
For example, in TableThing, the Pulser cycle is 28 fast beats, which represents one phrase of seven beats, repeated four times, when driving ScanSeq. A gesture can be free running (with or without hard sync to some number of Pulser cycles, and arbitrary sync point), or it can be set to ConformTime. With ConformTime enabled, I can set the associated popup to be one phrase, one and a half phrases, half a phrase, etc. It calculates the speed at which it will have to move through the gesture, based on the length and sample rate of the gesture, the length of the Pulser cycle, and the tempo.

Actually, I thought about Numerology, but decided to roll my own with Gyre. The jury's still out on whether that was a good idea or not. :-)
