Did you preorder?

I'm guessing those new dates are for batch number 2 because my Dawsons in Manchester were expecting them yesterday, but because of the recent attack didn't get the shipment..

I reckons other shores throughout the U.K either have them already or will within the next couple days :o



Preorder in February online, I'm also in Manchester, let me know if you get yours, then I can go to town in an email as preorders should be honoured first

Yup I've seen that on the website this morning saying 4 available in stock, seems like they were the first to get them in the uk, unless they actually know the lives are on route to their shop and can advertise as in stock

How and where are you getting it? Lol

Dioe- watch some tutorials, play with the preloaded stuff to get familiar with the sequencer and find some crazy stuff to sample and learn to edit your sounds good.
There's a lot you can do but basically the sequencer and sampler is what you'll want to master first. The instruments and newer features will be easier if you have those down.

Looks like the lives are in dawsons can't **** wait, my first mpc any advice peeps?

Congrats, I know the feeling. First thing first, power it up right out the box to see if it works. Then spend a couple hours with it after charging. I did this, and I was in my old workflow in no time, only now, things are a lot smoother and quicker.

Seems that Bax music has the Live in stock (The Netherlands).
They told me they've ordered 50 units of the Live and 50 units of the X.

Their current stock for the live is 21 units, which means they've already sold 29
units on preorders.
