I realize that I should have written "however higher playback frequencies of the arrays will still alias"--meaning that if any of the partials went above Nyquist, you'd still have aliasing. Sorry for the confusion.

Why is that? I thought, when just playing so many partials of the waveform, so that all of them fit in below the nyquist frequency, there won't be any aliasing? Is that wrong?
I don't think it's wrong. Obviously, if you generate only ONE table (with sinesum for example) with all the partials necessary for using it at low frequency, and then use it at higher frequencies, it will alias. But if you use different tables for different frequencies, always summing only the sines that are below the nyquist frequency, there can't be any aliasing.
Thanks for clarification, Matteo and Derek. This is actually what I initially thought as well, but the sentence 'however higher frequencies will still alias' sounded to me, as if more measures would be necessary in order to get completely rid of aliasing, which would have been unkown to me.
