How To Make a PAD like this

MJ's Pad that comes in right at the start. Pretty fast attack and a little decay. But I'm puzzled as to the rest.

Thanks.

Sine wave, unison with quite a lot of detune, bitcrush. Then low cut or high boost. Here's my attempt: https://clyp.it/trnuklfp

Nailed it, this is what I was going to say.

Maybe a tad of reverb though!

Well, I used the one in Serum, which I think works by decreasing the bit depth. Drive knob somewhere around 30% and mix less than 50%. It's a pretty subtle effect in the sound, and I think it's best to just experiment.
