I actually do.
Aliasing is pretty much of an issue with the EXS, as soon as you don't use at least one zone per tritone. Add some pitch shifting
and you'll need even more.

Kontakt (which I also own) is quite better in that aspect, but on the other hand, the EXS's LP filter IMO is still sounding just
great, especially on synth-like basses or squealing resonant stuff.
