In the A-110-2 the triangle is derived from the sawtooth via waveshaping (in case of the A-110-2 that's a precision rectifier which
mirrors the sawtooth wave when it reaches negative values). Sorry - there is no trimming potentiometer available. As a rule you will
always obtain a glitch when a triangle or sine is derived from a sawtooth. The reason is that the "reset" of the sawtooth is not
infinitely fast but takes a while. In reality a sawtooth is consequently an extremely asymmetric triangle with a slow slope (the
typical sawtooth slope) and a very short reset slope. This reset slope is what you see as a glitch in every triangle that is derived
from a sawtooth by means of waveshaping. The only way to remove it would be a tracking filter or the usage of a triangle core based
VCO like the A-111-1 (or the planned successor of the A-111-1 high end VCO, but this module is still under development).

Best wishes
