    They have those physical knobs that attach to an iPad screen and work as it it was a real knob on that synth. Might be a kickstarter or something but it was shared in this form a while back, so you might be able to find it with a search… I think they were pricey though.

    Lmk how the knobs feel, and if they glide smoothly or jump values around. Also if it's a pain in the ass having the knobs reset locations when you touch them every time you change a gadget etc.

    At this point I'm even wondering if a controller even is the way to go at all, or just drag my finger across the screen: fast, reliable, no need to map anything, and save my money for a cobalt 8 or something

    I like that for $105. I’m guessing it’s wired only?

    A used Akai MIdimix could do the job as well. Get one and exchange the knobs for some of your preference (that's what I;m doing, still waiting for the knobs to come though) as the stock ones are really lame. Just be sure to buy D-shaft knobs and you should be good to go.
    All in all this controller+knobs would be a pretty cheap investment. Mind that the LEDs on the controller don't light up when using with iOS.
    I sure like the other options mentioned here though they are at a higher price point.

    +1 but the knobs on Midimix are simply not very ergonomic and the spacing between them rather small. Are there any good alternative knobs you can recommend @Foleslaw ?

    I finally recieved those knob replacements this week and they are working (and fitting) really well.
    I bought these:

    Got myself 30 knobs (3 packs) and that's a good thing because some of them turned out to fit the Midimix a bit loosely so I had some spare to place instead. Still for the price I wouldn't nitpick on this little inconvenience.
    Bear in mind it is a bit easier to maybe accidentally move neighbouring knobs while playing around as you do tend to touch them a little more often. Doesn't bother me as I don't neccessarily make any drastic turning and mingling :)
    In short - I would surely recommend them
