I have a Roland/Boss GT-100 guitar processor (a big pedal board), which features 8 programmable/assignable open-ended rotary knobs (open ended as they can just be kept rotating without hitting some kind of stop). It would be great to be able to _feel_ hitting certain settings when brushing them with my foot, without having to look at all.

As a musician, I think the introduction of haptics to electric/electronic instruments allows you to move in unexplored aural directions, which is sometimes very musical.
