Is it still possible to add your own custom icons to Audio Midi Setup? I tried putting some in the "Generic" folder, but they won't go. And what happened to the manufacturer's folders? It was nice to be able to find my gear. I'm using a Mac Studio with OS 12.6.
Mac Studio, macOS 12.6
I had the same question. Found the answer though! I have no idea where the Generic ones are kept, but...
Go to the ~\Library\Audio folder off your user folder (Library may be hidden so in finder hold Option key and while opening the "Go" menu in Finder).
In the Audio folder I didn't have a "MIDI Devices" folder so made one (MIDI Drivers was there, but not MIDI Devices).
Then made a folder in that called whatever I liked (in my case "TD-50" for Vdrums icons).
In there made a folder called "Images".
Pop some nice icons in that (need to get some nicer ones with transparent backgrounds) and voila! Doesn't matter what you name the actual icons seemingly. Now in MIDI studio I get "Generic" but also "TD-50" (the folder name) with that icon in, and now have another "RME" folder with "Images" subfolder there too with my UFX II icon in. Make as many as you like with Images subfolders for each or you could just call it "Greg's Bits" or whatever if you just want "Generic" and all your custom icons together in a single "Greg's Bits" icons section.
P.S. This is with Ventura 13.0.1

Awesome! It works! Thank you!
Wow this was really helpful. Worked great. Have no idea how I could have figured this out on my own. Much appreciated.
