It's not just one sound - it's several sounds stacked on top of eachother.

There's a basic analog-esque string pad in the vein of what a JX10 does, and a pulsating choir sound (any sample-based machine made after 1991 with a square wave LFO can do this), plus a subtle high string sound playing descending notes in the background (which might fool someone's ear as the side-effect of a flanger).
"Part of an instrument is what it can do, and part of it is what you do to it" - Suzanne Ciani, 197x.

I"ve guessed it was a digital synth but I wonder which one it is. I can't recognize my JX-10.
This song was released in 1994 and is one of my favorites.
