I think the NL3 run at an internal sample rate of 96K - that would put the main aliasing tones well outside audiable range.

I remember a recent discussion on the Korg forums about odd tones on the Radias. Turns out there is actually a quirk in OSC 2 in that it simply doesnt produce such a perfect waveform as OSC 1 and the extra high frequency tones come from that - and if you listen carefully there are definately harmonics and not just unrelated tones.

So its worth checking out the waveforms in a wave editor.
