Most of the techniques are going to apply.  The basic structure in a 
Subtractive synthesizer is the same, with various differences.


Basic EVO tute:
1) Start with a basic patch.  No modulations, LFO, delay, distortion, 
filter env=0, mod env=0.  Open up the filter all the way.  
2) Play with the just the oscillators and the Amp Env. for awhile.
3) Slowly add in one thing at a time, and listen to the change in 
sound.  Once you get a feel for what the control does, put it back to 
zero, and then try another thing
4) Refer back to the Evolver signal flow often.
