It seems to me that what's required here is the ability to mess with 
the phase of the LFOs to give the cross-fading you'd like.  As far as 
I'm aware, this capability isn't available on the evolver, which is a 
shame.

One possible work-around might be to use env3 to control the speed of, 
say, LFO2.  You could modulate the level of osc3 with LFO1, and osc4 
with LFO2.  By using env3 to control the speed of LFO2, you can 
ffectively offset the phase of LFO2 from LFO1.  The idea is to control 
the 'steady-state' speed of LF02 with the sustain portion of env 3, and 
have that match the speed of LFO1.  By varying the attack and decay 
times, you should be able to offset the phase of LFO1 and LF02 in its 
steady state.  There will, of course, be some strangeness going on 
while env3 is getting to its sustain portion, but in the steady state 
you might get the effect you're looking for, with some trial and error.

Of course, all of the above could be way off the mark, as with pretty 
much anything you read on the internet.

I'd try it today, but my evolver's on its way back from minor surgery 
at DSI, so I won't have it until Wednesday some time.
