Recreating a sound, a layering professor needed

Hi all. I'm getting into Sound Design these days and there's a challange that I couldn't figure a way out by myself. There's this flute - gliding vocal mixture kind of sound that I'm trying to recreate and i couldn't do it with aforementioned types of sounds. Can you guys drop a guide or even a guessing so i can give them a try too?

 

Here are the sounds with timestamps:

Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

I would say, you might need a one shot sample sounds similar to that Lead. Find one and load it into Sampler, give it some Glide and there must be a setting there to make it looped so it doesn't sound like a pluck even if it is, use that too.

 

Perhaps somebody with better knowledge would nail this that's what i thought..

I am not really hearing a flute in there. I would start with a lead patch and get as close as possible to the timbre. Then program the melody in and add some glide to the synth patch so that it behaves as in the example, taking care of which notes are overlapping (to trigger the glide) or not.

 

Once you have the performance dialed in it becomes easier to hear the patch comparatively with your example and determine what needs to be tuned to get closer (attack, envelope, layering of oscillators to get the right timbre, etc).
