How to Layer BIOFORMS for Organic Motion

By Andrei Olaru

BIOFORMS works best when one layer moves and one layer stays still.

1. Start with one stable base

Load a restrained BIOFORMS preset in Synplant 2 and hold one note for four bars. Keep this track as the tonal center.

2. Add one moving layer

Load a more animated preset on a second Synplant 2 track, playing the same note. Lower its fader, then mute and unmute it: keep it only if the movement is clearer without masking the base.

3. Leave space around it

BIOFORMS already has detail. Do not stack too much on top. A small amount of space makes the motion feel more alive.

The main idea is simple: one layer for tone, one layer for motion.
