    That sounds like the ARP synth from Edgar Winter's 'Frankenstein'.  This basic preset should get you fairly close (playing A above the open high E string).  You'll have to tweak the settings for an exact duplication:

    CrazyFun

    Mix = WET:50

    Pitch Mix = A10+B10

    Pitch A = A: UNISON

    Pitch B = B: UNISON

    Delay A = 10 ms.

    Delay B = 20 ms.

    (encoder) = HMODLTR / TMP: OFF

    Depth / Key = DP: +P5

    Speed / Scale = SPD:  70

    Xnob = RAMP-DN

    Ynob = FBK:  25

     

    (EXP PED Heel) =  SPD:  70

    (EXP PED Toe) =  SPD:  100

     

    In the video, the preset demonstration also adds expression pedal control over the Xnob (waveshape).  Over a few tries, I couldn't get changing waveshapes to sound similar to what I was hearing.  To me, it sounded like RAMP-DN (sawtooth modulation) all the way.

    The Delay A, Delay B, and Ynob (feedback) settings are optional.  It sounded a little 'thicker' than 0 ms.  I put Depth / Key at a perfect fifth above, but +1OCT is a little steeper.  You can use 'negative' intervals, but then the 'GunRays' will be shooting from two different directions.

    Another way to approach it would be to set Pitch A & Pitch B up a fifth (or an octave), and have the modulation drift down to your input note pitch ('unison').
