I just got a Behringer X Touch Compact. Jeff Rona recommend it. I like it very much. I have the extra pots assigned to softsynth control. You can toggle between Daw mode and Midi CC mode quickly, build quality is very good. $399 usd. one bad sign, the Mac editor still has not come out.

Cheap... Korg Nanokontrol get the job done for $60. But it is plastic and cheap feeling.
Thanks for the tip, this is most likely the direction I will go. And thanks for mentioning Jeff Rona. Just hope it isn't too noisy, at least not as noisy as their older unit, https://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Desktop-Controllers/BCF2000/p/P0246 (BCF2000)
