this is very cool

i am also working with esp32 s3 but only write rust code

My goal is to send midi wirelessly.

I'm curious why you chose the ESP32? Because if you're working offline, the cost for its most well-known features - BLE and WiFi - would be unnecessary.

I have about 25 laying around idle. And I wrote a little C framework around ESP-IDF, which simplifies the software part. I was also sure the ESP32 can decode MP3s in real-time without a problem.

Not op but I would also just use an ESP32 since they're super cheap, I already know how to work with them, and there's a pile of em in the drawer.

If producing multiple, yeah esp32 is overkill, but when cost is <$5 wouldn't be worth the time to make the project harder to get started
