Music data for 6 songs that demonstrate advanced MIDI programming techniques that use the Roland SC-8850 sound source to the fullest. In addition, 9 MIDI files with drum phrases are included. The drumming is performed on a Roland V-Drum kit by Steven G. Fisher and illustrates how life-like drumming can be re-created in MIDI with nuanced use of timing and velocity to achive details such as snare ghost notes or hi-hat and cymbal articulations. The CD also features Red Book audio tracks with SC-8850 renditions of the song files and three of the drum files.

The original title of the release is "SC-8850徹底活用シリーズVol.1". The translation used here is unofficial, as no English source has been found.
