Can anyone help me out with this leadsynth sound in Tori Kelly's Masterpiece?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8yIavUd778 (1:58)
To me it seems like a simple mono sine wave with a glide and kind of a wah-wah on it but I'm getting stuck with creating it. Can someone help me out on this one?

It's clearly not a sinewave since that only has a fundamental and no harmonics, but there's something obviously filter-y going on which can only work with harmonics. So I'd guess at a filtered square wave source, possibly with a fairly deep notched phaser or flange effect.

To my ears the source is more like an electric piano, something Rhodes-like but with a slower attack in the amplitude EG. Processed through a notch or band-pass filter with flanging, wah-wah or phasing.

Sounds like a minimoog type lead also being played in unison with a piano. There's also a couple of parts playing. but to me, it's more like a typical 70s mini lead sound
