[sdiy] LFO's showing up on VCO

I am not sure of the technical name for the problem of circuits (lfo's especially) influencing your Main VCO'/'s, but it's a problem i have had before. The difference this time is I am working with a pcb (asm2) that
has all of the circuits on ONE board, utilizing a single PSU but with a +/-10 v reference for the VCO. ( i had hoped the reference would get rid of this sort of problem)
Now that all the circuits are working, i am finding myself pulling out my hair due to HEARING the other periodic circuits making my VCO output unstable. (even with the CV's disconnected, i can still hear them messing with the waveform)
at this point i am not willing to add a second power supply to this board and i dont think it would fit anyway.
SO...i am looking for ideas.
I tried removing the LEDS attached to the LFO but that didnt seem to help.
HOWEVER i am wondering if giving the LEDS their own ground (straight to the PSU) would help.
I am using a power one +/- 15 volt supply
here is the link to the circuits:

thanks so much
