MIDI study packs provides the opportunity for the kind of detailed study one would undertake with full orchestra scores, but there are a few advantages provided by having access to the MIDI over conventional notation:

• Learn more about full orchestra writing without needing to read sheet music (or read it well)

• Use one of the library specific packs (#8, #9, #10, #11, #13, #14) as a springboard for becoming familiar with that library, if you have it

• Apply the MIDI data to your own libraries to become familiar with their capabilities and limits

• Observe voicing, arrangement, and orchestration principles from the MIDI

• Observe how CC dynamics, note starts/ends, velocity, and tempo map modifications can be used for expression

• Read the PDF guide and learn from it's observations and suggestions

• Use the MIDI of one of the more dense, full orchestra pieces (#9, #10, 12) to balance your orchestral template

• Practice your MIDI mixing skills by working on someone else's music

• Practice your AUDIO music skills by accessing the included sectional WAV stems

• Move the MIDI parts to other instruments or sections, for quick experimentation with different instrument blends

• Move MIDI parts up, down or around to experiment with different voicing structures

• Fight G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) by learning to better use the tools you already have! Save buckets! :P

All MIDI Study packs to date also include a PDF study guide with information on how to use the files and some tips (composition, orchestration, etc.) for getting the most out of the educational opportunity. Between all seven packs, there are over 19 pages full of unique instruction and tips.
