Mini should be tricky to emulate because it had 3 VCOs...and AN1x only
2, that is enough most of the time....

The intro of the piece is very "pink floydesque", not so "german",
despite it is a german group.;-) The rest is not bad but "classic"
instrumental pop
Think Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze.... robotic
arpeggiator, saw to sine to saw VCOs modulation, sweeping high pass
filter(s) and so on :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CgXPIkX0jA(this one is one of my favorites in this style..)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_QXc5duq-4&feature=related(look at the huge stacks of electronics ...now you can get quite the
same in 1 or 2 19" racks;-) ... OK the video soundtrack is not so good :-\ )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhHGIPFtD0g&feature=related(the intro is ramping up 10'...serious things begin at 12', very long
song..)
Listen : you can hear all the analog monsters around here, modular Moog,
ARP 2600, Synthi AKS...
OK, it's a bit weird and old fashioned, i don't only like this kind of
music but for me it started synthesizer music, not used only to produce
a handful of bars of unusual tones or sci-fi noises but a complete song...
