I'm not at all convinced that what you are referring to here even *is* aliasing. Aliasing is only really apparent at high frequencies, and is probably less apparent on fat unison sounds like Manuel Schleis' than in any other situation!

Yes, the Virus does have aliasing, but it is not generally a problem - the thing you should be aware of is that the strengths of the Virus *far* outweigh any weaknesses.

For instance, the new Analog filters are absolutely fantastic! Funny that they don't talk about them on any of the forums though - perhaps it's because these anti-Virus folk don't actually have the first clue about what the Virus can do - they've just heard that it has aliasing and so they just jump on the bandwagon and start slagging..
