A few years ago the Mackie 1604 had an automation option called 
OTTOmix. This consisted of an internal VCA board. Both fades and 
mutes were controllable.

Around the same time CM automation had a VCA box with 16 channels 
(MX-816?) that could be patched to the inserts on a mixer. This had 
internal memory registers that could be recalled by program changes.

Niche had an 8-channel box called the ACM (Automation Control Module) 
with a resistive ladder circuit rather than VCAs. These were recently 
blown out by audioMIDI.com; I don't know if they have any left.
