waggled my clocks

To get same roll-off with 2k2 instead of 220k, C1 will be 1uF. It's about 70Hz. It's up over 7Khz with 10n.
If your Tri LFO was at, say, 10Hz, its 3rd, 5th & 7th harmonics will survive a roll-off at 70hz, which should keep it from turning into a sine.
..But, if having any C at all there is stopping modulation, well, I don't have much of a clue at the moment. Could be that if C1 is small, then it's getting discharged too much when Q101 switches on?

had my last go at observations of this today (it has since left the building breadboard).

I can only see the shape of the mod-wave tri at the osc highest speed, but then I need to lowest speed look at the way the clock outputs, just to see the swing. the C1 cap as 10nF tends to turn the straight-lined triangle more boob shaped at R5//R101, curved to and from the teat tip, but not at dip. and the clock outs have a definate rhythm to them that looks not like a straight line, but at low osc speed where it should be more triangle.

so, as Vic Reeves said when asked how it works, "I dunno - but it does!" when it come time to build, i'll just use these values and it should work.
don't make me draw another line.

Ok, I trust you didn't fall in to the trap of scoping slow waves with the CRO AC coupled? I have spent many hours wondering why my wave was wrong until I switched to DC coupling.

weellllllll, a casual glance over my shoulder shows ...... nah, I was looking at something ELSE AC coupled, something after the clok waggle. I can't prove otherwise, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
