Help with a small project.

I need a little help with a new project. I have a midi and i want a "non destructive" way of having a button get pushed for 4 seconds then off for 10 seconds then rep....I was thinking of building something that was outside of this that pretty much acts like a finger. movement is only maybe 1/2'' but needs to be able to have force enough to push a button with a little tension. any help would be greatly appreciated.
