Hey! I saw this thread on facebook. I also once covered this song 2 years ago and played/recorded all the instruments and vocals by myself. It was quite a fun project, as i am a big fan of that band and especially this song. Although i am mainly a guitarist and drummer, i tried to recreate the synth parts as well, give it a listen if you like.

The gong and percussion make it sound like Asia rather than Africa

Well, since the patch question is answered anyway, I will post an off-topic video of a Toto classic and ask what synth that is, also the Yamaha?

That's a CS-80 to me.

I also think I saw those 4 ventilation covers towards the back of the CS80.
I like their R&B type stuff, great drums and bass...
