The osc pitch will only respond to incoming midi notes if the evolvers internal sequencer is turned to off, and Key Off/Xpose is set to to a value (-36), not "off".

Have you read the evolver manual yet? I suggest that.

I have my pals Evolver on loan, I know the unit well as it is my old unit. I rarely used it with external midi gear in the past so I decided to hook it up to my drum machine to sequence it from an external sequencer.

Its not working the way I expect. I do not think the envelopes are triggering, the osc pitch is not changing. It does respond to midi clock, the internal seq syncs just fine.

I went over this page

I made sure the channel was correct of course, Key Off/Xpose (Row 7, knob 8), Trigger Select (Row 7, Knob 7) but still nothing. Have I overlooked something somehow?
