They are nice and bright, "airy". Certainly I can't recall ever hearing any aliasing, but then again my ears are shot!

Mind you I'm not entirely sure that every rom sample is 48KHz on the mid rangers like Triton or M3. But I do know that my 44.1KHz sampled drums collection sound better on the Korg than some other 44.1KHz workstations. Definitely more top end 'air', whatever that means But after recording it at 44.1KHz, can I still claim it sounds better? Dunno, its different. And in the end its all synthetic, there is no 'right'.
In the case of the Korg Trinity with PBS-TRI expansion (custom 8MB flash-ROM sampler) if you uploaded a 44.1KHz sample, the Trinity automatically converts it to 48KHz before storing it on the 8MB chip, as it can't deal with any other sample rate. Reason I know this, is that uploading samples to the Trinity and then downloading them back off of it the file sizes have increased as they have been converted to 48KHz. Or the 8MB chip couldn't load 8MB of 44.1KHz samples, as it would require more than 8MB to store them as 48KHz. So any samples I upload to the Trinity I record them natively at 48KHz before uploading them, to avoid at least one lossy conversion.
