I checked this out, one thing that got me was:

"Since the X-Y pad lets you control separate parameters in the horizontal
and vertical directions, you can do things like simultaneously controlling
the delay time and the feedback of a delay line, or simultaneously
modifying the cutoff and resonance of a filter --- complex operations that
would be cumbersome with sliders or knobs."

Don't want to sound like I'm wanking my own knob, but I never had a problem
changing filter fc and res with one hand while doing something else with
another. Maybe I'm just jealous because no-one gave me lots of $$$ to
develop something like this. And how many thousands of those pads would I
have to get made to get one of them. Fuck the big guys.

Frustrated designer/small time purchaser....
