In the video he offers a range of excellent techniques to make layering more exciting, including call and response, mechanical sampler sounds, granular resampling, extreme pitching and vocoder layering. 

Each of them will add more to a synth than simple straight up layering of sounds - which will result in a deeper and more exciting overall sound. More videos from Synthhacker are available here: https://www.youtube.com/c/SynthHackerTV
