While it is not quite what you asked (at least I think),
at some point I've played around with some Akai MIDI controllers [1] of a friend of mine.
I ended up using them as crude I/O devices for a Tetris-like game [2] and for simple animation tests [3].
Even ported it to WebMIDI, but hit some barriers in the amount of IO the drivers and link could handle.
At some point I must have forgotten about this, so thanks for reminding me.
I might also experiment with this again. :)
Also sorry for the potato quality videos, it's the best I have at hand.
