Thanks Summa!

Good explanation. I've noticed the whistling effect that you 
mentioned in the higher registers of the synth (particularly when 
using ring mod). Those early machines are notorious for the aliasing 
effects... 
I'm also wondering whether the audio output on some of those older 
digital machines underwent a bit of low pass filtering after the DAC 
in attempt to combat the aliasing effect. This could perhaps be one 
of the reasons for the "warmer" sound that these machines are 
sometimes said to have when compared with current digital synths....
