This dude seemed like a troll from the first moment. Oh, no, you've have to automate two parameters separately! Yes, it would be cool to have this feature (I voted in the thread), but to ignore the other 99% of the features at the expense of this one thing is plain silly. You could map two controllers and record the automation in one pass, for that matter. Since I don't have an XY pad, that's what I do for XY controllers anyway.
