I’m sure i’ve made a patch similar to that but just haven’t put it up

Shift register modules are neat for quasi-canonic writing, but a true fugue (*) is probably not something I’d want to do with Rack. It’d be a good exercise though.
The Reich stuff would be easier if we had a modulatable clock with greater granularity wrt its divisions.
Tuplets are a problem in Rack ? I had no notion…

(*) See Bach’s Art Of The Fugue or Alfred Mann’s book The Study Of Fugue
The fugue would be super interesting, but it probably requires a fundamentally different kind of sequencer. Very interesting food for thought though.
You could do a canon quite easily with the as trigger delay or with a standard delay with short feedback
i did a reich inspired patch in my vcv rack experiments 50 day challenge last year:
