I once found a MIDI-controlled pre-amp made by Mark-of-the-Unicorn, the
"Mixer 7s".  It's not cheap though -- around $600[usa] -- and I'm not
sure it's made any more (came out in ~1996, IIRC).

There's also lots of bigger board mixers with computer (usually MIDI)
control for automation.  (eg. the Tascam MM1)

The MOTU Mixer 7s is about the smallest, cheapest, mixer made primarily
for computer-only control though.

If you can find one of those on the used market....  I want it!  ;-)

There are a few high-end multi-channel computer audio cards too with
which you could build a mixer from a computer.....
