If I understand your previous messages correctly, this "simple MIDI protocol" transports by far less button etc actions in either direction than your extension is able to work with.
I just in a private discussion was asked about possibilities to use the controls on the keyboard in a versatile way in a live situation. Also see ->

To support as well standard "Control Surface" workflow, as versatile live playing workflow, it would be best to have a Reaper extension that implements a decent (propriety) bidirectional Midi protocol for all this stuff and creates a virtual Miidi device in Reaper (accessible in the preferences setup) that as well CSI as any tracks (holding JSFX plugins for processing / generating Midi in a versatile way) can attach to.
Alternatively, OSC might be an option to attach to CSI (which recently gort OSC awareness) as already discussed here ->
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=191158&page=3 . But this does not easily help with live usage.
(Moreover I recommended a small NI Komplte Kontrol keyboard to a friend of mine, who is a vivid Reaper user and supposedly some day soon will come up with appropriate question on how top do something he might be thinking of with the buttons and displays.)
