Would it be possible to play any of the synthesizer tracks I hear in this 1986 Book of Love song on an old MiniMoog synth?

The bass lines could be replicated on a Minimoog. Not sure about the lead or the pads...Those sound like they were done on a RolandKorgAha.

With a little reverb added, almost anything is possible with a Minimoog D. Even sounding like a Roland Juno or a Casio CZ (synths used by Book Of Love in those days). But, of course, the chords would have to be recorded one note at a time on several tracks...

Although there's the possibility that it would still sound not cold enough though... :mrgreen:

I wonder if it is also possible to simulate these bell-like synth leads (at the timepoint mentioned and at 1:27, 2:14 and 2:50) with a MiniMoog?

If you want the sound of a DX7, best to use a DX7. The MiniMoog sucks at sounding digital.
