[PD] Anti-aliasing filter

[matthew jones]

yeah this stuff had me confused for a long while....!
it's straightforward in maths to express the sum of two frequencies as the
mid freq modulated by a low frequency (half the separation freq) but it's
not so straightforward explaining why we can actually HEAR this low
frequency even though a fourier transform wouldn't show anything there.....

weird non-linear ears....
