  Here we present guidelines that highlight the impact of haptic feedback upon
the experiences of computer musicians using Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs).
In this context, haptic feedback offers a tangible, bi-directional exchange
between a musician and a DMI. We propose that by adhering to and exploring
these guidelines the application of haptic feedback can enhance and augment the
physical and affective experiences of a musician in interactions with these
devices. It has been previously indicated that in the design of haptic DMIs,
the experiences and expectations of a musician must be considered for the
creation of tangible DMIs and that haptic feedback can be used to address the
physical-digital divide that currently exists between users of such
instruments.
