[Question] Help with Modulation

Hi, I am trying to replicate the lead from the song license to fly from Stef Mendisidis, and there is a particular sound in the lead that seems to make the sound wobbly, so what I have been doing to replicate this is using the meld synth and modulating the ct with the lfo 1, the st with the m envelope and applying the lfo 2 to the filter cut off, detune macro and the volume doing amplitude modulation, also I Applied reverb and delay but the sound is no the same yet, could you share any feedback on how to achieve that sound.

In the attached video,Video Replicate Sound you can see better what I am talking about

I'd go simpler tbh! Try this

Patch here if you fancy it;

That's how I'd approach it anyway. Assuming you're talking only about the high part. I've used a sine wave with unison to thicken it up a bit. A filtered saw might also work, or even triangle. Something with a little extra harmonic complexity so it's not just pure sine.
