HEY!!!
Who said aliasing was a problem, I own a PPG Wave 2.2, I love aliasing..
anyway, listen to my monowave samples, if you de-res it you get some lovelly
aliasing effects...

Ive often thought about playing with an ADC/DAC pair..

Take the ADC's outputs , swap them around a little and feed them into a
DAC..
kewl way of makeing funky new waveforms from a regular waveform..
Probably sound cack though :-)
