If you've got the oscillators running directly in with no attenuation, then
the filter may crackle a bit when the cutoff point crosses the harmonics of
the waveforms.  You just need an attenuator on the input, to scale the input
waves down a bit.  Solved that crackle for me.

You could put a couple resistors on the PW pot: one between the top lug and
V+, and the other between the bottom lug and V-.  Since you've got a useful
range of about 1/3 of the rotation, then resistors of a value about equal to
the pot should do the trick.

The LFO should work fine, though it's been recommended to put diodes on the
gate inputs of the ADSRs if you're going to try to trigger them with a
bipolar waveform.  Otherwise they act really wacky.  (Been there, done that!
Thwe diodes are a must!)

You could also use a toggle switch that closes to a suitably high voltage,
with a pulldown resistor.
