One MIDI Control transmitting a series of keystrokes?

Is it possible to assign one MIDI button to transmit a whole series of keystrokes?

For example, I am playing live with a sequencer using an instrument in track 1. I would like to switch to the track 8 instrument in realtime by simply hitting a button. On the keyboard I would click the DOWN ARROW 7 times in order to get to track 8. Is it possible for MT to do this with one button (i.e. I hit B1 on my Edirol controller, and it transmits a series of 7 Down Arrow keys rapidly?)

Also, can it do this in more complex configurations? i.e. DOWN, DOWN, TAB, ENTER, TAB, TAB, TAB, ENTER -- in order to navigate through various options of a softsynth interface?

Thanks,
chris.

yes, in the Outgoing Action, you can enter any series of key strokes to be sent in response to one MIDI command. Just enter them one after another.
