That's just the way triangle waves are in general.  The evolver offers
the mixed triangle/saw wave too, which is often just right.

Sometimes I use sync (with appropriate detuning or whatever) to roughen
triangles up a bit, or use one triangle wave and one narrow pulse wave
-- a narrow pulse wave is less dominant sounding that a 50/50 pulse
wave, so it doesn't overpower the triangle as much, but can add a nice
bit of buzziness.  Or add in some lowish-volume digital waves to provide
some high-frequency color.  There are sooo many ways to roughen stuff up
on the evolver... :-)
