Literature on sound waves, filters, envelopes etc?

OK, well the main bass, sounds like the 303 in Square wave mode and very little resonance on the filter.

The sound you're asking about I'd have to guess a bit.
Roland analogues really ruled that era. Often we'd get high end noises like that out of an SH101 but I'm thinking it sounds a little more 'squeezed' than that. A 101 tends to give a very open sound. Could be an MC202 which is incredibly similar in most respects but subtly different in character.
There's a bit of a glide going into some of the notes - 'portamento'. That gives that riff a lot of its character. That was doable on a 202.

I've listened to it 3 times now and I'm all the more convinced it's the 202. I used to use one a lot. I think I may still have it somewhere - I definitely still have a heavily modified SH101.

Ironically, I don't hear much evidence of any LFO's being used
