The other day I was practicing Billy Joel's "Entertainer" and while the sound of the Mini Moog (or nowaday, Voyager) is really stunning, I tried to come up -as long as I can't afford one ;-) - with a patch that will do the job.

So here is my first try on the Mood used for the Intro and somewhere during the song.

Moreover, the sound is kind of similar to the one used by Abba at Gimme Gimme Gimme... so tried that one too.

I did not found any reference on the web of how those guys used their synth, what wave forms etc. And did not bother to do a proper harmonic Fourier analysis, so here it is:

Now I really like "The Entertainer" and wasn't quite satisfied so far with the MiniMoog. So after having read of how to use te two Synth Engines jointly slightly detuned I managed to get a patch I am no 99% satisfied with:
