When you ascend from floor 24 to 25, or descend from floor 28 to 27, Tambourin loops. It pauses as the close-up Noid appears, and restarts (version 1.0) or resumes (version 1.1) as the floors reappear.
On the OPL2 sound chip, the treble track plays on Ad Lib's ORGAN1 instrument at 84% volume, and the 3 bass tracks on their PIANO1 at 75%. This was recorded from the game on a real Pentium 60 MHz with a Sound Blaster 16 CT1740.
For the monophonic PC Speaker, only the treble was typed, and only up to the 2nd reprise. It is a bit faulty, since after the 1st reprise, the last note in 5 bars is repeated. The gamer can toggle between legato and staccato, and both were recorded using a microphone.
