There are few drawbacks of XYpad regarding it's object properties, that forces to make custom XY pad from Container and shapes, which is not too convenient.
1) Whatever style was applied to object, if it's gone due to number of objects reduced then it's getting reset after adding back. This breaks some use case scenarios. So properties retaining ability would be good.
2) There's no way to control any XYpad object's parameters externally. A bit sad as well, takes away ability to have more visual feedback on what's going on.
3) can't make centre of object touch the borders of the pad.

It's possible to mitigate 1 and 2 issues by making a patch with container and shapes, mimicking XYpad, but perhaps that should be added to library as alternative to module.
as for 3rd problem, the only way for now is to use TouchFader add-on module (which is now included in library), but it lacks some of the XYpad abilities (although have some unique of it's own).

and also record from inputs !

By the way, it would be nice to have an "inverse" button for the X and Y values, especially when you use the XY pad to control an external XY interface, most of the time the Y value goes in the wrong direction. (I know it's easy to patch an X-1)

I plan to implement a new powerful script engine to be able to access to parameters of a module like shapes of the XY-pad.
for now, no real simple solution. be patent
