It sounds more impressive than you think. Especially with the resonance whacked up in this context. All Viruses allow you to turn off the "Smooth" setting that morphs between the midi values, but even so, the Virus still sounds relatively inocuous as the aliasing between the "steps" isn't all that pronounced or great.

However, I've made an example of my MC505:-

(turn your speakers down before listening to it, as the resonance is quite high).

[505 stepping] 389kb MP3

The aliasing is much cruder, and you can really hear the stepping when I slowly swept the cutoff knob when using a peaking-type filter. It's really pronounced.
High resonance was used, and I ran it through a distortion effect to give it bite.

Not sure. Best wait for the detailed spec's to come out, or for someone to test one for real.

Come on Access, release those TIs so the pre-order guinea pig beta-testers can knock us up some MP3s for us to wank over!
