I will see if I still have a catalogue I picked up at a trade show a couple
of years ago. They had rotary encoders with a ring of LED's around the
outside so you could use it to indicate the position a "manual"
pot would be
at before you turned it.

That could provide useful subliminal feedback before you start.

eg Volume set to 50% you may just tweak it slightly.
Volume up full you give a hefty twirl anticlockwise.

They may be available off the shelf?
I know non-push action digital rotary switches are for a fact.
Perhaps someone with a farnell or RS catalogue to hand could look
up "rotary encoders" and "rotary switches" and
summarise what's on
offer?
