Zebra 2 - Short time sound synthesis (<20ms) and aliasing

[ZebraTamer]

My scenario:

I've "built" an "additive/modal synth" out of several instances of Zebra in FL Studio for synthesizing drum transients. Basically one instance of Zebra synthesizes one partial of the signal whose pitch is controlled via an internal FL Studio dashboard controller (you can then change the pitch of all Z-instances/partials with the dashboard-plugin at the same time). I use MSEGs for the Amp-Envelope in the time range of 10ms-16ms. I tried to use FMOs, but this didn't work for me.

Are there any noticable differences between short time synthesized signals via sine-OSCs, FMOs and recorded real transient signals concernig aliasing?

What's the best method (if there even is a best method) to synthesize short time signals with Zebra?

Thanks in advance..

Honestly, I haven't give this much thought.

You'd of course disable "Attack Smoothing".

I'm not sure if Aliasing makes a big difference in the realm of transient design. Maybe yes, if the harmonics structure changes audibly at different pitch.

Hmmm...

Thanks Urs.

To be honest, I don't have a clue either if aliasing matters or not.
I bounce the material as one-shot samples and I like the results so far.

Is a 10ms sine wave from Zebra the same like a 10ms wave-editor generated sine wave or a 10ms sine wave from any other vsti synth assuming that the amplitude (+curve), phase and the pitch are the same? (+ same resolution and bit depth)

I assume this is the case in digital domain and I shouldn't worry that much..

Zebra handles impulse waveforms (thin spikes surrounded by silence) very well, so I don't think it has a problem with microsounds.
