It depends on your individual tastes.  I tend to use my Evo almost exclusivelty for bass 
sounds (and yes,  I work for DSI, but I bought my Evo over a year before I started working 
for Dave). 

I think your hope the digital waveforms add a disctinctive character to the Evolver's sound 
is exactly correct; and, for me, it's one of the things that make it excel as a bass synth.

Seriously - if you can't make a synth sound deep, warm and fat with four oscillators, 
something is seriously wrong... ;)

My suggestion - go listen to one.  That will tell you everything you want to know.
