I do not know enough about the ESP32 to answer that question. For the Xtensa LX7 Processor it might be a close call.
How are you going to get MIDI input?
Cadence offers a C/C++ compiler, and the best way forward to port a project to a microprocessor is to strip it down to the bare minimum. Basically only need to call the following methods in a loop for each process cycle
parse_raw_midi_data (..);
oscGenerateFragment (..);
preamp (..);
reverb (..);
whirlProc (..);
All that being said, if you do want a "micro-B3" you can just get a Raspberry Pi. setBfree runs there, and you can just connect a USB soundcard and/or USB-keyboard.
MIDI would be handled over UART interface.. The issue with Raspberry Pi is that the whole OS has to boot which is like more then 30s. With a microprocessor a battery solution would also be more acceptable and complete/embedded. If I get my hands dirty i will come back to you. Thanks

The issue with Raspberry Pi is that the whole OS has to boot which is like more then 30s.
I suggest to remove the Desktop system, which is usually what requires the most time.
Projects like zynthian (which uses a stock RPi) manages this in 5 seconds from power on to play. mod.audio is a bit faster (using a custom ARM board). A Kawai piano also need 3-4 seconds, which I find acceptable.
That being said, if you manage to get it going on the ESP32 it'd be cool! Have fun hacking!
@schef you can find a C++ port to Teensy boards (ESP32) here: https://github.com/rodisch/Teensy-Orgl
You could use the https://github.com/rsta2/circle environment to port setBfree to Raspberry Pi bare hardware.
A couple other projects do that, such as MT32-pi and MiniDexed.
Oh, this sounds very exciting! I have couple or RPi zero laying around. Thanks.

Hi guys, would be evan possible and what would be the effort to port this beautiful software to esp32? The board i have in mind is ESP32-Audio-kit.
