Additionally I would like knurling on the knobs and muted musical tones to provide feedback, not the blaring monotonous beeps of today.

Star Trek TNG was wrong about the desirability of flat screen interfaces but right about audible feedback.

TNG designers (Sternbach, Okida) waved it away by saying the touchscreens had tactile interfaces that reconfigured based on the interface/user. Best of both worlds.
