Can confirm, had to wait a few months before I could get my hands on their PO-33 sampler — one of my most cherished pieces of hardware now and def worth way more than its price tag to me (as someone who doesn’t generally buy music equipment

Interesting, makes sense. I wonder — is setInterval not as precise because it doesn’t really need to be (and thus it’d be a waste of complexity to be that precise)?
