Is it even possible to make it in SM with out wavetables or heavie CPU load. I think the stock osc's are good. But I want to learn how to make it myself. I have no problem making band limited osc with multiple sine osc's but this drains the computer for CPU.
Some hints are very much appreciated. How are the stock osc's made?

maybe THIS thread is interesting for you. SM OSCs are wavetables.

Thanks 🙂
I also just found this article and got more optimistic regarding wave tables. 😉

IIRC, only 2 are, & it seems optimized for those forms. Pure sine does not need BL, since it has no harmonics 😉

True sine waves don't need band-limiting... but my recollection is that SynthMaker still uses wavetables for them.

What WT files are in the folder after running SM? That will solve the mystery.

I have a question. if i use a bandlimited sawtooth wave oscillator to make another waveforms, these latter will be anti aliased too ?

No. But thats hardly a problem.

This depends what method you use to make the new waveform. Generally, if you are just adding (mixing) waveforms together, they will remain ant-aliased. However, if you use frequency modulation, phase modulation etc. there will be some aliasing - though it will be less than if you started out with aliasing oscillators to begin with.
