Music keyboards do have that sweet n-key rollover. So, there's probably some Emacs users playing their editor like a piano.

    There's that old legend about the Symbolics Lisp Machine keyboards which had, like, a bazillion modifiers (and were a big influence on Emacs). Someone suggested that they would eventually run out space to put in more shift keys, so they'd have to introduce pedals. I suppose organ stops would also work.

    Do Emacs have midi input?

    Well, apparently you can extend Emacs to have it:

    Emaccordion

    Control your Emacs with an accordion — or any MIDI instrument!
    [...]
    You can e.g. plug in a MIDI pedalboard (like one in a church organ) for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift); or you can define chords to trigger complex commands or macros.
    [...]
    The idea for the whole thing came from [dead link]. I immediately became totally convinced that a full-size chromatic button accordion with its 120 bass keys and around 64 treble keys would be the epitome of an input device for Emacs.
