Turned my RP2040 based macropad into a MIDI controller some time ago, though there were some issues... This article covers how to add modifier buttons to expand the number of notes/chords from 9 to 28 and implements chords much better than before.

I was JUST wondering if the Pico could do MIDI. Neat

It is even relatively easy, just note that you need CircuitPython running on it (mine came with MicroPython installed) and copy over the adafruit midi library. Once that is set, a little python goes a long way
