Multiplying Rhythms


Recommended Posts

This is a long shot - not sure if anyone will be geeky enough to read through this (let alone answer it).

 

In the MIDI editor, we can select a sequence and apply MIDI TRANSFORMATIONS like DOUBLE TIME or HALF TIME.

 

So far so good.

 

Now what if I wanted to transform a run of 16th notes into a a quintuplet (5:1) ?

 

I think I would multiply this sequence by 1,2 so that the sixteen notes (4:1) are slowed down to a quintuplet (5:1)

 

Right?

 

But when I do this, what comes out is NOT a quintuplet at all.

 

So obviously, either my math is wrong or my understanding of the MIDI transformation is wrong (or both)

 

What am I doing wrong here? Anyone?

 

Thanks in advance
