What synth/synths can make this synth line?

Hey guys. I was watching the Futurama movie, and there's a synth part with a really nice sounding lead that comes in at 0:42. You can check it out here:

Anyone know what it is, or what can make it? I like how smooth it is.

Square wave with portamento.

That's what I thought., thanks for the reply Tried it on my Univox, but sounded a bit off. Even worse on my CS-5, so I thought a particular synth could do it better...

It's a square wave but it's filtered, so play around with the filter settings. Set cutoff to make it smooth and give it a touch of resonance and I bet you'll nail it pretty easily on any of your synths.

EDIT: It could be a triangle wave, or a filtered square wave, try both.

The reason it didn't sound like it on your minikorg is because the square wave isn't even square...go ahead and take a look at it with an oscilliscope...or a software oscilliscope. You need a true square waveform to get that sound. Also I think the pulse width is not set to exactly square in that clip.
