Generate Control Voltage for a modular synth

I built the circuit, no luck. All I get is the 485hz PWM tone modulated by my desired frequency.
The RC filter just sounds like a lowpass filter -- is there some "magic" value of cap and/or resistor where the square wave will suddenly go flat?
When I tried the formula on that datasheet I ended up with a miniscule value for R... but they were dealing with a PWM frequency in the MHz range.
