Neat!  I wonder if you could take that process all the way and have the NCO 
output a sinewave (to remove all aliasing.)  Obviously you could easily use 
analogue electronics to derive a square wave from that with a comparator, 
but not sure how you could shape it into a triangle or sawtooth waveform!?

I guess it's all irrelevant really though as BLIT, BLEP, minBLEP, poly-BLEP 
etc, all work very well for directly generating the common analogue 
oscillator waveforms at 48kHz or 96kHz sample rates.
