Midi probs

Hey Y'all, I'm having some difficulty writing a midi arpeggio on Cubase. Here is the scenerio:
1. I have recorded 35+ trax at 134 bpm and rendered them to CD as Waves.
2. I opened a new project and placed my files on individual trax at the 120bpm default. (the trax are playing at 134 bpm)
3. I recorded a midi arpeggio, but I can't quantize it because it's quantizing at 120 bpm. It sounds a little off, but no matter what I try, I can't get it to quantize.
4. I tried dragging it to a 134bpm track, but it copies at 120bpm.
5. I tried measuring it by hand, but its too hard.

Is there a trick to getting my arpeggio right, besides re-recording the midi in 134bpm and then quantizing??

wouldnt you be able to bounce down the 1 channel with the arpeggio to wav.. then import it back in, and compress it to 134 bpm?

although I find the bpm changer thing in cubase useless?! maybe im using it wrong....

but if im using a loop lets say, thats 140 and say.. "expand to 130" .. i do that.. and it makes it go.. maybe 138.. 135. So I find I have to just use traktor to do all my tempo changes n' stuff and it's annoying as fuck!

Actually, I ended up measuring it all out with my hand against a sampled kick. However, it's still just a little bit slow, so I'll compress it a little bit and then it should be fine.
It has been an ordeal making this CD, but it's a labour of love.
