Actually you dont even need a HID/Midi translator, unless you wanted to.
With the editor you can make it a behave as a midi device.

Beyond all that....
For instance a motivated person could also make a Traktor platter controller like the S4 which uses HID and reverse engineer the message format NI uses.
Those counts could be easily doubled with muxing. So i would think
16 Pots, 96 buttons is doable with 1 teensy++.
I think the teensy is wonderful, but there is a learning curve. Also know that
arduino code will run on this board so there is literally TONS of info on developing
these boards. Further if you become fluent in arduino/AVR architecture, there are hundreds of cool projects out there. Check Make Magazine.
