To get the data into the keyboard, it needs to be a "keyboard controller", which nowadays normally means having a USB connection supporting the MIDI-standard. But it is perfectly possible to use other devices to produce sounds directly, see for example <http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ >, which also support MIDI-devices.
Then LilyPond is a typesetting program. I'm not sure it supports USB MIDI-devices (yet), it is possible with some other typesetting programs. But if you could, the result would be sheet music. It can produce a MIDI-output, but it is a bit roundabout.
But if you want to play and record, making loops etc., in a more direct fashion, then you need what traditionally is called a sequencer. There are play-along programs like
