how many layers do you use with your custom sounds?

[Tomer=Trance]

yeah you start to lose too much poly and you also got unison on with 2-3 voices on each sound...

When I layer for a single part, then its typically when I need redically differnt timbres and envelope settings for different parts of the sound, for eg, using one sound for the attack part and another for the sustain.

You know, I've never really got layering happening on my Indigo. Guess confusing Multi navigation (never could figure it out properly) got in the way.

Nice bump there, Khaz! Heck of a delay line?

Someone else must have bumped it and deleted as it came up in the recent posts list on the side oif the front page

I never thought to look at the last post date.

only one layer on the virus b, but many times I just use that as a layer for my whole setup, so maybe a single sound can consist in one layer from the virus, one from the v-synth and one from the k2661... so 2 or three layers for me if you consider the facts in this way.

Usually 1 layer. I use multi-mode as a way to split the keyboard. actually I have only one twin-layered sound (a dark 3-oscillator pad. the second layer is the same pad one octave lower), a 2 layer sound (bass pad & arpeggio) and a 3 layer sound [a horror fx sound, quite cacophonic].

The way I see it, Multimode is good if you're playing different parts (bass-lead etc.) or if you are using VC.

I dont layer that often, but one sound I tend to do more of that type of work is on bass sounds...
Sometimes you have just the right timbre of the bass, but its just not fat enough, so I can maybe add some more sub content to it with a sine wave, or the other way around, ad a more crunchy mid range sound to a bass to give it more character and stand out a bit more...
