I wanna get into producing
undertstand how to install VST (Virtual Studio Technology) download some free plugins. FREE ONES, NO matter if they sound superduper or not. just to play around and try to undertstand them. watch some tutorials how to set them up in your DAW. i recommend the Plugin Helm! yes not the best but for free and alot of options to learn from it. and thats what makes it great! https://tytel.org/helm/ . i recommend this heavily because you have some sounds to start witha and you can create alone with this one alot. i mean really alot. there are endless tutorials how to make some specific sounds with this. than you need to a drumkit. you can use helms drumsounds and so on. but i recommend to search for a better way to do drums. helm can give you good piano, bass, and so on. but take your time to find a drum plugin. after you played around with helm already.

Bojack's Roland Jupiter 4
Does anyone here have a suggestion for a really cool software synth (preferably free) that can do these kinds of things? I've been messing with Helm, Cardinal and the built-in synths in Bitwig Studio and have yet to get a satisfying result... Don't you hate it when that happens?

Converting 12TET to 24TET....
https://github.com/hselasky/midipp supports 192 TET and there are some filters, see help section, that automagically microtone the input . Then you just round to the nearest TET. The difference is not noticable. Can playback this using SYSEX on ZynAddSubFX (3.0.6) https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx

Idiomatic way to execute code at a sample rate?
I suggest that you look into open source audio synthetizers (like https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx) to see the approach they use.
