Unsure if this is the right place to ask, but this conversation inspires me this question: Is there in practice a significant difference between try/catch and Go's "if err" ? Both seem to achieve the same purpose, though

Wishlist: Akai MPC3 - especially as the brand new 3 format has a single track order for all sequences in a project, thus making it functionally compatible with most DAWs.
