Stabbing electro padsynth in massive?

I've been trying to replicate this sound for some time now and I just can't get it right. It's this pad-ish synth quite commonly used in electro songs nowdays. And I know it can't be too complicated but it's just I'm not very good in sound design.

Example in Porter robinson's "say my name":


Can be heard several times after the drop at 2:45.

First time at 2:50

2nd 2:57

3rd 3:05

Would most preferably get some good tips on how to do it with massive.

Multiple detuned saw waves, in a chord/multiple octave chords stab.

Play with chorus, vibrato and distortion.

I made a patch that sounds exactly the same so ill go more in depth when I'm in front of my computer, but use Sylenth. Its what porter used and it works better for fat saws in my experience.
