ok, I'll just repeat what I said: "most delays will
exhibit this apparent pitch modulation when the delay
time is changed rapidly"... I really don't know how
else to explain it... try a similar modulation with
any other digital delay that is properly
interpolated*, and you will notice similar behaviour.
it's a standard behaviour for delay lines - applying a
fast or sudden modulation to them will cause these
jumps in the pitch of the signal in the delay line. 

* note: some digital delays are not properly
interpolated, and will only exhibit zippering/clicking
when modulated in this way.

cheers,
kevin
