Help with re-creating sound of a synth

Does anyone know how to make the sound of the ambient background synth in this song?

And also, if you can. Can you explain what destination on the pulerisateur does? Thanks.

You mean the synth that plays the harmony throughout? I'd use Space for this. Try a sound with a low number of harmonics, close to a sine wave, with low brightness and dispersion. Be sure to detune/pitch shift it in the master section for the wide, stereo effect. You might need to layer this base sound with a brighter one on top with a faster decay, to create the sparkling attack.

The tape-like (lo-fi) effect can be achieved with a band-pass filter with a slight resonance. I'd try to add a WaveShaper to limit the max amplitude. This adds a non-linearity that is typical for magnetic recordings.
