Split MIDi note into equal subdivisions?

Wondering if it's possible to split a MIDI note into equal subdivisions across it's length. would like to split into odd numbers like 5, 7 or 9 for instance to be able to start playing around with polymeters with elements like drums, kicks, hats, etc.  Make a long MIDi note across a period of time, let's say a single beat, divide it into 5 equal notes, mute some to play around with rhythms and paterns.

I found this concept through an abelton tip on IG which you can check out below:

You can choose the Cut (Scissors) tool and Option-click a note event to divide it into multiple shorter events. This is completely free-form, however, rather than specific mathematical divisions.....so if you take care, it could work.
You could also use subsequent operations to make sure all newly divided/created events are the same length.
