OK, here's a little breakdown of the first minute or so:

• 15 seconds of kick drum, then percussion comes in.
• Then the bass and snare are introduced
• At around 0:30 the first sample of the original song is faded and filtered in
• At around 0:45 a sawtooth wave based string-like sound is skipping between two chromatic rising scales. The bass line is muted.
  
• From 1:00 onwards you have: The whole drum pattern, bass and sequenced samples from the original song. No other synths!

If you are trying to reproduce the sounds from the original song on a synth, I suggest you give a listen to the unremixed song, and try to recreate it as closely as possible. You'll have bass, strings, piano, and a funky el. guitar to deal with. Or just sample it yourself. But don't do anything illegal ;-).
Nile Rodgers is god.

OK then, as I said this "sound" is actually at least 3 different sounds combined, and then hi-pass filtered (hi-pass filtering is very common in remixes that use the final product as source material instead of the multitrack). The 3 sounds: The most dominating sound is the strings. On top of it there are funky guitar patterns and piano patterns.

For the strings you can use some of the synth strings patches already available, just select category Strings or run a search with the term "str". The strings play long chords. There are also some very impressive piano patches bundeled with the TI, search for the term "pia" or use the categories. The funky guitar is a resonating pluck - a fast attack and decay and can be detuned and/or go through chorus with a very short delay for the resonating effect. It can also go through the vowel filter, or can use a grain/wavetable oscillator but in both cases controlled by a MONO continuous LFO to create a wah-wah effect. Both the piano and the guitar break down the chords into patterns, that you can play yourself or use the arpeggiator.

In the end, for all three patches, use the low EQ, in minimal (most negative) gain, and relatively high frequency, to recreate the hi-pass filtering.

Oooh... a challange... OK, but it'll take some time as I am busy beyond belief. So stay tuned...

Two preexisting sounds:

Mellotron is sometimes another term for strings, if you don't know why, search it...

Push the strings an octave higher:


Give the piano this arpeggio:


And now, to create the funky guitar on part no.3:








And give the guitar this arpeggio:


Duplicate the guitar to part no.4 to create broken chords when the two random arps work together.
Use your DAW to send all 4 parts, the exact same chord sequence. It sould sound like this:

Thanks!
And I forgot just one more thing - The high-pass effect is gained by doing this to all of the patches mentioned above:
