Controlling the ESP-32 module with a USB keyboard

I’ve been vibecoding a custom firmware for the ESP-32 module because I wanted to use the synth without an external midi source. I’ve ended up with a setup where I use a USB keyboard to play and sequence notes, it works pretty well. The module has no USB host capabilities, so I ended up with a quite convoluted setup where a CH559 boards acts as USB host and talks to the ESP32 over serial, but it works.
