The track should begin with the bass line, which is mostly constant throughout the piece (except for the parts with faster or slower tempo). Then some kind of crazy electronic "brass" instrument duplicates the bass part, but at a much higher pitch. Then some kind of crazy electronic "guitar harmonics" play minor chords. This repeats as each part (except the bass line) becomes lower in pitch. Then there is a change, with the normal up-to-down bass part changed to down-to-up temporarily. Then the whole thing slows down for a few measures. The preceding sequence repeats more or less w/o going down in pitch. After two slower parts, the end goes much faster.
The preceding description is provided because I have been told that this piece sounds quite different if you're not playing it on a SoundBlaster 16 like I was when I wrote it.

This one is "normal", so I think it should sound OK on just about any equipment.
I redid Jazz Knocker for the SB 64 AWE Gold.

This is another "normal" one. Believe it or not, this piece developed as a result of my experiments with note velocities and tempo changes.

This one is slightly less "normal", but I think most of it should sound OK on other equipment...
