If you're willing to use your hands, I like the M-Audio Trigger Finger.

     http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/TriggerFinger-main.html

It's about 10 inches square and has a threaded socket underneath
so you can attach it to a stand.  You get 16 touch sensitive pads
that can be used to invoke functions as well as trigger loops
with velocity sensitivity.  There are also 8 rotary controllers
and 4 sliders which you could use for EDP volume and feedback.
It has "banks" so you can access every DirectMIDI function
on the EDP.
