2 x square wave oscillators - unwanted modulation

Hi All-out circuits,

I am using two square wave oscillators, when i put the outputs together they modulate. you can see the schematic attached. I don't want this modulation. Is there a way of fixing this, maybe an idea to use a diode on each output?

Hello,

IC1 is the 555 oscillator.
IC2A is a divide by 2 circuit.
What do you mean with modulate ?

Bertus
Both square waves connect as one modulating pattern. it sounds great but I would like to have two separate square waves on the oscilloscope and speakers.

Please show the rest of the schematic datasheet (source of your attachment in post 1).

So one square wave oscillator is supplying power to a second square wave oscillator. What do you expect the result to be?

No there are two of these circuits, and when both outputs are connected in a passive mixer I get two modulating square waves.
