Let's do some math.
120 BPM is conveniently 1 beat per second.
1 beat = 1/4th, so a 1/128th is (1 beat)/32 = 1/32 seconds @ 120 BPM = 0.03125 s or 31.25 ms.
1/32 seconds also corresponds to one cycle of a waveform at 32 Hz, or only a few cycles at slightly higher bass frequencies. This makes fast arpeggios sound a bit ugly/unclear for bass notes. Each note is played for such a short number of cycles that the brain can't figure out which note is being played.
32hz is one cycle at almost unhearable bass frequencies (C1). Also frequencies raise according to pitch at a logarithmic rate (I haven't bothered to study the formula, but anecdotal frequency knowledge I have is close enough for rock and roll). So anyways, you can fit 32hz into a treble clef instrument ten, twenty times. For example, a C6, which is HIGH note (still one octave left on the piano) is 1046.50hz. So you still get ~33 cycles of each note occuring in that octave range.
So what I'm saying is, in the proper octave range, you can totally have recognizable notes at 128th notes at 120bpm

umm you shouldnt have to do anything faster than 32nd or 64ths depending on the tempo to get that sound

they are really cool, wish i could understand them a bit more.
this is probably as close as demoscene gets to a 'reformat the planet' sort of primer. switch on the subtitles.
watched this at PAX East, which was this weekend as well. Great film. I think the most effective part of it was showing that typing words in wordpad was exceeding the memory size of 5 minute demos complete with music.
