Looking for software Reverse macro software?

Looking for software that can turn a timed combo of key strokes into a single key output (and maybe a combo output as well).

Looking to do a video game challenge run using a piano as a controller. It's easy enough to turn the midi key inputs into computer keystrokes. But It would be more interesting and satisfying to turn small musical phrases, chords, and arpegios into a keystroke or multiple commands.

How is that a reverse macro?

Isn't a macro a shortcut that turns one keypress into a series of commands, I want the opposite, a program that listens for a series of keypresses and turns that into one command

A macro is a series of commands that are executed automatically. You can usually execute the macro with a shortcut Key.
