Clavia & aliasing (was Wave Wraper)

Well, I tested the OSCILLATORS of the micro modular
http://www.ief.u-psud.fr/~thierry/micro/

In fact, the oscillators from Clavia aliase a little excepted the "Spectral
oscillator"
that DOES NOT ALIAS at all ! I think it is based on a Discrete Summation
Function.

It seems that the non linear effects are not anti aliased. By the way, the
sampling rate
of the micromodular seems to be above 50kHz. It is enough for bass sounds.

It is a good digital synth and it is very versatile.

Kind regards,
