it sounds like your basic saw, with a bit of attack, and slightly increasing vibrato as the legato of the synth plays out.

theres also some warm distortion on it. theres a bit of lfo before the distortion unit though. most likely on pwn or phase to my ears.

so create a saw lead, with 3 oscilators all saw, detune each oscilator a bit with a very slow lfo. also try modulating the lfo on the pwn and phase of thes three oscilators.

add a little attack, and more decay than sustain in the volume envelope, and try messing around with your filter envelope to get the distinct "thudding sound" when every not hits.

now you want to have the note play out flat at the beginning, and slowly modulate near the end. I can tell you you will need a synth with ccmod mididata support, so you can sequence in the distinct vibrato that only arises on the tail of certain notes

what may or may not be the overarching "sound" of this synth those is a pre-distortion very slow lfo attacked to a resonancey notch filter, moving up and down very little amounts in the midrange somewhere. by modulating this, you get that movement out of the synth

then, put distortion onto this whole thing, and you should have a sound pretty close.

on top of the synth is a bit of reveerb, and if im hearing correctly slight bit of delay

It's most likely a C64 patch on any number of VSTi's. It sounds almost exactly like one I've heard before, though I can't remember where. Could have been in an old Vanguard FXB. If you don't have the know-how to do what Bjra said, look for C64 patches on any VSTi you own and see if it's somewhere in there.

you could probably make that in 3xosc, little bit of attack, sounds to me like a saw with mabye a sine that is a bit quiter

Not sure why you guys think it's a saw, it seems pretty obvious to me that it's based on a pulse wave with PWM (pulse width modulation). Try any synth with a pulse (aka square) wave setting with like a knob where you define the pulse width. Then assign an lfo/envelope to the pulse width. That should be a close approximation to the basic timbre of the synth in question. Not sure what you're using, but any synth with a pulse wave and like a mod matrix should do the trick easily. If not you could simply automate it

On a bit of an unrelated note, if you have an expression pedal, you can make a pretty neat wah-like effect by having the pedal control pulse width
