The difference from the korg you mentioned and the Project Mix IO is that the Project Mix is a control surface and interface combined. What you need to look for is any control surface that is compatible with the Hui Protocol. That's what will interface with Pro Tools. J L Cooper makes some products that are affordable, but I'm not sure if they're still around. Also, Barengher makes a cheap controller called the bcf that has automated faders and costs only about 159 bucks. Hope this is somewhat helpful. If I come across any other surfaces that might be in the price range, I'll let you know.
