Reviewed by a person. Verified claims stay as they are until a reviewer decides.

Settings

osc
1 pulse, narrow width, unison 1, detune 0 cents, sub none
filter
resonant low-pass, cutoff itself part of the repeating pattern
cutoff
1800 Hz
resonance
0.6, drive 0.15
envelope
A 1 ms D 60 ms S 0 R 20 ms; the cutoff steps through a short repeating pattern in sync with a rhythmic gate, rather than tracking individual notes; filter env amount 0.7
modulation
lfo square 3.5 Hz to cutoff, mono
effects
none - the part is meant to sound raw and mechanical, not smoothed with reverb or delay, none
notes
Rebuild this as a narrow pulse wave through a resonant low-pass filter whose cutoff steps through a short, repeating pattern gated on and off rhythmically - the VCS3's own envelope-follower/sequencer behaviour, not a keyboard-played line. Keep the tone dry and mechanical rather than smoothing it with effects; the raw, looping repetition is the entire point of the part.
