When I record to the arranger for some reason it won't record some hit hat overdubs I did in a drum clip. When I click record to arranger and then launch the scene I can hear the overdubbed hi hats as it's recording but when I go into the arranger and play back what I recorded to the arranger the hi hats are not recorded. Why is this, and can it be fixed without re-recording the hi hat part?

Would upping the ppq help in that case?

I doubt it & it doesn't even really up the PPQ it just displays as if it were, so if your coming from a seq that had a higher PPQ it will make more sense on the Force seq. At least that's that way I understand that feature from reading the manual.

TimeCorrection is a quantizer. If you've set it to quantize to 16th notes, and you play in stuff faster than that, for example a trap hihat roll, the TimeCorrection still does what it's told and quantizes the roll to 16th notes. It doesn't know the genre. Maybe in a future AI version it will detect the genre and figure out that the burst of notes is meant to represent one single note-with-roll entity. But for now the roll looks like a bunch of independent notes to the TimeCorrection i.e. quantizer.
