Midi Router Solution for Digitone needed

Hi,
i would like to use a AKAI APC40 MK2 along my Digitone, using the apc40 mk2 like a traditional mixer. Volume-> Fader, Knobs -> EQ etc.
Something like the very often mentioned blokas Midihub, but with at least one USB A as host input)
(Best Solution would be Faderfox MX12, but its a bit too pricy for me). As far as understood Midi, i need a host. But then, i don´t have any MidiMap/Midi learn possibility, right?!

What would be the cheapest solution?
Would these boxes help me out?
