From the year between 1991 to 1999, a great underground rave culture began to transform in the City of Denver, Colorado, USA. The promoters responsible for this happening were Mike "E", The Messiah, and The Energy Posse so called names that they went by. Chuck Harris musically became exposed to it and witnessed a cat and mouse game between the promoters and the heavy handed Denver Police. Chuck Harris decided that this was an historic story happening that needed to be documented and so he filmed 42 hours of footage over that one year period. It comes to no surprise that in the end, the Denver Police had won, but not without a documented happening event. This is the story of the promoters and the ravers of the metropolitan City of Denver. It was their right to dance. Produced and Directed by Chuck Harris for Chazz Entertainment Ltd. in Association with Jim Bergstedt and Instead Productions. A Crash-Kick Music Documentary. *I do not own this video and am sharing/archiving for history's sake.

Roland MC- 505 Groovebox walk through

The track playing was made entirely using the Roland MC-505. You can download it from my Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/blueplanetmedia/mighty-chewie-dub Download the update from Roland here: http://www.rolandus.com/products/mc-505/downloads/ Use Bome SendSX (Free) to send file: https://www.bome.com/products/sendsx Note: Cheap USB MIDI to computer dongles DO NOT WORK, you need a reliable audio interface like the Tascam USB144mk2 I'm using here Important! If you have issues with sending MIDI with software ENABLE MIDI THRU First: Check your current OS WAIT until split second after power is turned on an THEN hold TEMPO/MIXER, PTN/SONG, and PATCH, Press and hold keyboard pads 12, then 14, and finally 16 in order. DO NOT HOLD DOWN TEMPO/MIXER, PTN/SONG, and PATCH BEFORE POWER IS SWITCHED ON! You must keep pressing TEMPO/MIXER, PTN/SONG, and PATCH and can stop pressing keyboard pads. Repeatedly press pad 16 to access SYS version, CPU version, and DAT version. The latest OS is ver. 1.07 to this date, no further updates have been reported, or any plans to make another OS update. Directions for Installation. [Please note that you will need to re-initialize the MC-505 after updating. You should back up any data that you do not want to lose before beginning the update] **Warning** DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER ON THE MC-505 WHILE UPDATING OR RE-INITIALIZING. IT COULD DAMAGE THE UNIT. *********** 1) Connect the MIDI OUT of an external sequencer to the MIDI IN of the MC-505. 2) Before power is turned on HOLD DOWN the TEMPO/MIXER, PTN SET, and PATCH, then turn on the power. (This is different than checking OS version) -Sometimes the LCD will be blank. Turn off and on again if this happens 3) Press ENTER 4) Transmit the first Standard MIDI File from the sequencer (_000001.mid). I'm using MIDI-OX 5) When each file is completed, a checksum will be displayed. Verify that the checksum value is correct from the table below. 6) Continue transmitting until all 13 files have been played in order. 7) When the update is completed, a checksum will be displayed. Verify that the checksum value is correct. 8) Turn the power off. 9) Turn on the power while holding SHIFT, then press ENTER to initialize the unit and complete the update. Please note that initialization takes approximately 4 minutes. Block 1 ( checksum = 96C5 ) Block 2 ( checksum = 8C1F ) Block 3 ( checksum = 8817 ) Block 4 ( checksum = CFB5 ) Block 5 ( checksum = 965D ) Block 6 ( checksum = 4732 ) Block 7 ( checksum = EF43 ) Block 8 ( checksum = 2151 ) Block 9 ( checksum = A3FB ) Block 10 ( checksum = 7A5D ) Block 11 ( checksum = 2CBD ) Block 12 ( checksum = 039C ) Block 13 ( checksum = 57A1 ) Repeat the first step to verify OS had been updated.
