A keyboard will have all the signals you need. Just wire into the power

Oh, it's definately 1:30 in the morning... I read the above, and my
brain spun out of control. I'm picturing a rube goldberg aparatis...
Power dips, light dims, flower wilts, drooping pedal hits domino,
dominos fall and fall and fall, eventually a garden gnome is pummeled
by them. It tips, dropping its nose into the power key. It's hat
hits a big rubber hand, which drops a finger on the enter key...
