Africa1 plays the intro -Africa 1a plays with just horns - Africa 1b is like the intro -is the break to 2nd verse - Africa 2 is horns with flute on top, mute Zone 4 for the chorus- Africa1ab is the break-down to lead to lead -Africa 3 is the lead -expression pedal #2 brings in the vibes during the middle of lead - Africa 1a is the extended chorus to Africa 1b that goes back to Horns, Flute for lead and ending. All You have to do is press foot Switch pedal 2b and it steps you to the next multi. Have a good Toto day!

OK, boyz & girlz 😀 , after years of lurking, learning and getting programs and setups/multis for my PC3s, SP4s and PC4s, I can finally give a small contribution to the community. Nothing really original, as I took everything from Larry (this thread) Joerg ( https://ksetlist.com/community/t/toto-afrika/#post-7156) and other people who edited their work. I have created zones, trimmed filters and added/fixed controls to have the whole stuff in just one multi.

So, here you are my multi for PC4. Some bits of explanation:

Zone 1 (range C-1 - A#4) is the AfrBrass from Joerg with some filter trimmings. Controls are SW1 (sustain), Knob1 (LP freq) and Knob2 (LP Res)

Zone 2 (range C-1 - A#4) is piano, dubbing the brass when needed. Controls are SW1 (sustain) and Variation (acivates/deactivates the zone).

Zone 3 and 4 (range B4 - G9) are AfrikaMarimba, still from Joerg. Zone 4 is shifted -5ST to give the fifth effect of the original tune. Pedal SW2a turns these zones off when needed (second verse and solo)

Zone 5 (range B4 - G9) is MiniPulse 4 pole from Larry. The zone is activated by SW2a (latch) and temporarily deactivated by SW2b (see below), and starts with value 5 for the expression parameter (CC1 pedal will raise it during solo)

Zones 6-11 are MellowT Flutes. They come in when SW2a is pressed, but only zone 6 will be heard, as others have CC11=5 at start (CC1 pedal will raise during solo). Zone 6 alone will be used during 2nd verse, others are limited in range and shifted (-4ST or -5ST) so that the second voice of solo will be the one you hear in the tune.

Zones 12-16 are Real Vibes. They come in by pressing the SW2b pedal (during the central part of solo) and go out when releasing it. The shift/range scheme is the same as for zones 6-11.

Hope I didn't forget anything!

P.S. this was programmed on my PC4-88 (yes, I traded my original PC4-7 for this new one) so ranges may be not completely suited to the 76 keys version of the keyboard. As I have set the continuous controls to PassEntry, and my old EV-5 pedal rarely reaches the 0 value, I have set the CC11 initial value for some zones to 5 instead of 0.
