Help recreating synth sound from "A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails (piped.video)

I'm looking for some help in recreating the main synth patch for "A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails (can be heard in the linked video) using a software synth.

I think one of the main components to the patch is some kind of organ voice but beyond that I'm a bit lost as to what I should try. I'm pretty new to creating synth patches, but I learn best by experimenting and trying to reproduce things I know I like. I'm not looking to recreate this sound perfectly, but if anyone here could offer some guidance on how to achieve a roughly similar sound, or even just a good place to start, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm mainly using ZynAddSubFX but don't mind trying out other software.

I wasn't familiar with the track, so thank you for introducing it to me :)

It's hard to say - I haven't looked around to see if there's information on what was actually used but it sounds like a basic pile-of-saws pad going through an overdrive pedal or through a dirty amp and into a reverb. There are some pitch wobbles here and there as well. It's such a big beautiful layered thing - I'd love to know how they did it as well!

Also btw, I'm almost certainly wrong 😆
