MOTM

Looking for some help in creating recreating a type of sound I hear a 
lot but have never been able to recreate myself.  I have a basic 
understanding of synthesis but I don't understand how the sound is 
made up.  It's a pad like synth chord sound - I've posted an example 
on the yahoo groups site under the files section.  Below is the link:

I have a sampler so I can layer elements from my motm.  I can hear 
multiple layers in the sound, but there is something about the way 
the vca and filter is configured that I just don't understand.

Thanks for the help and discussion,
-Matt
