How to synthesize this sound?

I love the lead sound in Brendon Moeller - 'Electricity'.

Audio Clip - https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/con ... lectricity

How can I produce a similar sound with one of my VST synths? (e.g. Rapture, z3ta+, Zebra 2, Albino 3, ImpOscar, Minimonsta).

Obviously I'm not out to blatantly plagiarize his sound or anything. I just think learning how to create different timbres is a good way to improve my production techniques, and I'm trying to move away from using presets.

That's a plain synth stab run through a phaser.

Phaser plugin's normally don't sound good compared to analogue, so if you like real gear, check out this one: http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/? ... oduct_id=7 .

The only good phaser plugin I know of is the Sound Toys Phasemistress. Try the demo: http://www.soundtoys.com/products/PhaseMistress/
I use this plugin a lot for more subtle effects.
