Midievil | My Midi Switch Project
Checkout OpenDeck. Github repo here. It supports lots of different boards and no programming is required at all. I've used it for everything from 8 channel consoles for my DAW to a full-featured live controller for AmpliTube.

Bluetooth to USB Audio bridge
Implementing the required USB host interface is another hurdle, but tinyusb seems to have sorted most of that out, except that UAC2 is implemented as a device while you need a host.
- So I started porting braids to the PI PICO and ended with a generative drum machine

USB CDC: Multiple Virtual COM Ports
Have a look at TinyUSB. It supports the STM32WB and demo programs for the Nucleo-WB55RG. It even offers an example for dual CDC ports, so very close to what you're looking for.

Looking for well written, modern C++ (17/20) example projects for microcontrollers
Second: Distrust, misunderstanding, and out of date opinions of C++ in embedded spaces. I often see "compatibilty" thrown around as a goal for using C and not C++, but for most modern embedded systems, C++ compilers exist and are (usually) well tuned. Arm is a shining example here*. C++ is more optimizable than C as the intent can be clearer to the compiler. C++ constexpr and templates are a godsend for embedded systems, and I used both heavily in my recent arduino and pico testing. I combined both of them for a really cool experimental USB interface descriptor builder that runs at compile time and avoids the need to count byte sizes, but I gave up on it when the maintainer said C only, despite the fact that C can't do that. I was similarly disappointed when the pico "C++" was C only, as there was no backwards compatibility necessary.

Pico + CH559 = USB Midi host?
I looked at this but the fork seems to have had a lot of problems from looking at the PR: https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/pull/1219

Badger 2040: tiny kit ereader
I think a better solution might be to use a USB flash drive in the usbc port. Unfortunately micropython and circuitpython don't support this (yet), so you'd have to use c++ https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb

ESP32-S3 Update via USB?
It's possible to make the s3 be a mass storage device via TinyUSB. https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/tree/master/examples/device/cdc_msc_freertos
- Microcontroller that can read voltage?
- how do emulate a keyboard over usb? wherever I look I only see libraries and tutorials on how to use the eps32 as a Bluetooth keyboard not a wired one
What are some alternatives?
