Why not use MIDI?  There's a very inexpensive controller that you could
build (midibox.org) that will give 128 inputs and outputs.  More can
be added by just daisy chaining more controllers on the MIDI cable.
You can program with free MIDI sequencing software.   You'd also have
the capability of syncing easily to a sound track!
