great point chris.
i never thought of it in that way before
but i see it this way,
when a guy or gal in new to producing they can sit in front of sequencers all day and have ideas but they just dont know how they look in midi.,

these give a great examplain of how working melodies work.

huge previous uplifters like binary, gouryella and out of the blue,

looking at the shapes of the midid and how certain rythems and riffs are a made can help people in compostion without ripping it off.

anyways,
great point but thats my two pences worth
;)
