How is the wispy, flute-like harmonic sound from 3:58 until 4:14 in the background of this performance made?

I'm not too keen on the exact details, but he's using the same instrument as when his vocals are vocoded. The sax is sampled in real time, blended with a harmonizer, run into an OP-1 and played alongside the natural sax sound. Read up on "The Messina".

I'm familiar with the Messina real time vocoder, but I was more interested in the metallic sound that comes in behind the sax and then plays a few long notes with a very long reverby tail. However it may just be a sample of a flute pitch shifted and mapped onto a keyboard, I just thought it had a very acoustic quality to it.
