A pure sine wave is the one waveform that you would ordinarily expect would never give rise to aliasing. The fundamental frequency is the only frequency component in a sine wave, so unless you attempted to set the fundamental itself to greater than the Nyquist frequency (and that's ordinarily impossible due to the range of MIDI notes), you should not be able to cause aliasing using only a sine wavetable.

It is the waveforms that have frequency components higher than the fundamental frequency, i.e., anything other than a sine wave, where aliasing becomes a possibility, ordinarily.
