"Green Dot" X-Y Controller in Rack Macro Controls

The "Racks" are great. I love them, I really do, and I use them constantly.

However, in Ableton Live the Green Dot X-Y Pad, shown for every instrument/effect in the chain view, is my favorite thing of all. Ableton, I just adore that Green Dot pad and I use it to do all of my effect automation.

Why fiddle around with problematic latency-ridden USB gadgets and controls-mapping when you can record automation with the built-in Green Dot directly? The only problem: Macro Controls have only the eight knobs.

It would be ideal if the Macro Controls integrated a Green Dot Pad that could be mapped to Macro Controls. This would be the ULTIMATE SOLUTION, and would solve my remaining automation problem.

I think the Green Dot is the single greatest about Ableton Live. I wish it could be everywhere, but especially in Rack Macro Controls.

Yes this would be very nice. Ableton, while you're at it, maybe you could throw some native joystick support to control that X/Y thing?
