Default 37 or 61 key virus TI2? Aliasing?

Hello all!

I am very interested in purchasing a virus ti2. However, I am concerned about aliasing in the upper octaves. Perhaps I should purchase the 37 key version because aliasing may render the upper octaves of the 61 key version not usable anyway? What do you think? Actually how bad is this aliasing?

Hi Bob

The Polar (37 key version) has dedicated transpose buttons to switch the keyboard up or down any octave, so every octave and notes are fully accessible.

I'm not the best person to ask about aliasing at the top end as my hearing's not awesome, lol, but I believe the newer oscillators in the TI and TI2 range suffer less aliasing compared to the original 'classic' oscillators.

I only really noticed the aliasing after I read about it and listened for it. It is indeed there but it is nothing that a little EQ and filtering can't clean up IMO.

There are even some circumstances where the aliasing even kinda "fits" the sound and sounds natural.

I work mostly in 88.2Khz and I notice other VSTi synths sound cleaner in the 'air' frequencies. But the Virus always wins in the complexity and character. If you take into account most people don't have the hi fi goods to hear the top end anyway and most likely to be listening via MP3 then you can rest easy.

of all my VA-Synths (Ti2, V-Synth, Blofeld, Microkorg, Sylenth etc.)
The TI2 has the least audible aliasing.
I'd more make the decision dependent of your playing (and gigging) style.
I bought the big one and am very happy with it, tough I will regret it when dragging it onto the stages
