If you play 2 notes per tick that is 1/8 notes. 2 notes per tick take half the time as 1 note per tick so, y'know, 1/8 note right there. Divide 1/8 in half and you have 1/16 which is 4 notes per tick. Divide that in half and you've got 1/32 which is 8 notes per tick. Half that and you've got 1/64 which is a whopping 16 notes per single tick. I've been a bit intimidated by the 1/64 notes personally.
