Name that synth. (Pad in Phaedra)

Could you please tell me what synth makes this pad sound? If you go to the Phaedra page on the soundsonline website and look at the right hand side of the page at the mp3 demos and click on the one labeled "Pads Demo 1," it's the third pad sound. It starts at about 0:59 in.
Phaedra- Virtual Analogue Synth - Sounds Online Virtual Instruments & Sample Libraries

The list of synths used to make Phaedra is on that page.

Or even easier, listen to the clip here.

it's a layered digital pad. string ensemble. edit probably generated from analogue sawtooth wave- pick a synth it doesnt matter. any soft synth or digital synth or rompler can get close to that. apart from the filters which are nicer than your average rompler.

what give it its effect is the layering, the string-type samples are tuned to different notes, you could do this yourself on a VSTi, experiment using 5ths and 7ths. the other element that gives this sound character is the vibrato, which is a medium LFO sine or triangle shape routed to modulate the pitch. plus the whole thing going through that nice filter.

if you feel the need to spend some bucks getting this sound from hardware i suggest the waldorf blofeld, which i think would nail it.
