It's not really a question of resolution, the P3 and the CS user arps represent time differently. I could come up with a complex rhythmic pattern in a CS user arp in 10 seconds.  Then I could spend 15 minutes figuring out how to transfer it to the P3 by setting the timebase to 64ths and plotting out where on the grid each note falls.  This dotted 32nd note of my pattern starts on the 21st 64th note so I will set the note on there. Its duration is 3/64ths so I will follow the note with two ties...

The point is CS user arps let you easily go "off the grid."

I'm looking forward to reading the details.
