Technically it makes more but I think more knobs would’ve been more useful than the pad since I read alot of ppl not using it as much as they thought they would - or if ever at all.
Keep in mind I like that it’s there because I have other midi controllers like the BCR-2000 to deal with that stuff so the touch pad is unique but i rarely use it.
WIth all the FX parameters & other cc messages having more knobs to be used as marco knobs to me is more useful then 1 touch pad that I & other ppl rarely touch.
More thing anything from a technical side I would’ve liked the option to have velocity sensitive pads.
