how many layers do you use with your custom sounds?

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...

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.
