I disagree, I like the aliasing associated with synths such as the PPG and
Prophet VS, its part of their character/sound, to say 'don't do something'
is wrong, if you like the sound, how can it be unpleasant?
In fact, in both the Monowave and MonowaveII I added a feature to allow you
to drop the sample rate of the waveform to increase the high frequency
content!
