It was probably played directly on the keyboard(Minimoog?) with a
slow portamento(glide) time. Try this: Oscs: 2 saw, 1 octave apart,
slightly detuned, edge reduced a bit from full. Mixer: both oscs 100%
and a bit of feedback. Filter: LPF24db, nearly wide open, a bit of
rez, keytrack 0, FEG depth 0. AEG: medium release time. Key mode:
Legato. Portamento: On and set to a fairly long time. Optional: Unison
mode with a detune of around 5. Not sure how close this is, as I
haven't heard that song in a long time...should be in the ballpark
though... -Steve
