For basses (low frequency fundamental) aliasing is not a big problem.
Harmonics lie closer to each other in the spectrum and few reach
above the nyquist frequency, at which they fold/mirror down. I
recognize aliasing by watching the spectrum in real-time with the
plug-in i mentioned. When I modulate the pitch aliased components move
in the wrong direction.
If you like bright sounding VCOs, use them. But for those who want
analog sounds, avoid aliasing with the method i described.
