Hi All,  
I have a Numark Orbit midi gear, which looks like a gamepad.  
Thats why i came up with this idea.  
Can it work through BMT? Specially repeated functions like arrows, and fire and this kind of things?  
What would be the optimal values for midi note on/off to keystroke messages?

You could use your Orbit to translate MIDI, keystrokes, or mouse actions, however there is currently no option for converting MIDI to game controller actions.
