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.

By the way thanks Derek for the link. Now I see why sinesum is _so_ 
useful (indeed I could/should have seen it before -lol)
