This is the classic Laser Harp sound Jean Michel Jarre use. It is actually a preset in the Elka Synthex, number 46. Jarre used other presets on the Synthex right out of the box.
To create a laser harp sound, synchronize OSC2 to OSC1 and here comes the secret why many fail to create the sound...
The sound uses Glide with Speed and Amount to modulate pitch of the synchronized oscillator. Many people think that an envelope is modulating pitch but it is Glide.
The sound also use pulse wave on OSC1 and OSC2 use OSC1 to PWM and ring modulator.
Sorry for the sound quality and I don't know which key the song goes.
