Machina del Diablo is one of the 8 different songs that are played during a regular game in the demo version. It is the fifth track that is played. The tracks are played in sequence starting from Case in Point: Paste and ending with Neep Ninny-Bod, at which point the list starts over from the beginning.

The full version of the game had unique music, but since the MIDI files were only included with the demo version of the game it was not seen as being worth the time to create new MIDI files for the expansion.
