Insert Piz Here has released Mr. Alias 2, a freeware instrument plug-in for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Mr. Alias 2 uses non-bandlimited oscillators which can be transposed near to and beyond the Nyquist frequency, causing most of their spectra to be aliased back into audible non-harmonic frequencies. The sound can then be further processed by a number of crude “effects.”
Mr. Alias 2 features
- 2 oscillators.
- 18 waveforms.
- Full stereo processing.
- 6 filter types including a formant filter.
- Filter envelope.
- External audio processing.
- Patch randomizer button.
- Highly configurable MIDI control with MIDI learn.
- MIDI-controllable patch morphing.
- Drag & drop preset and MIDI map loading.
- Resizable GUI.
Though it is based on the same concept as the original, Mr. Alias 2 is completely rewritten for cross-platform compatibility, and has a number of significant improvements.
Mr. Alias 2 is available as a VST plugin for Windows (32-bit), Mac OS X (Universal Binary), and Linux (x86), and as an Audio Unit for Mac OS X.

Insert Piz is back? Hooray, one of my favourate creators of little plugins creating strange noise. I am happy!
The original Mr. Alias was one of my all-time favorite VST synths.
Thanks for posting this and making my day.
Version 2.01 has been released. The update includes performance improvements and various minor bug fixes.
