Thanks!

It's just a 100pF cap from the comparator output/JFET gate (same trace) to
ground. It is essential. 100pF may be slightly too large, but 47pF is too
small and 120pF is definitely too large. I'm going to get some inbetween
values today to try, but 100pF works.

I agree. However, the tradeoff is in good audio tracking up to or slightly
beyond the top of the audio range vs. the option for long LFO periods at the
bottom.

What sort of features?
