  2. Displacement receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_transducer

    In music, certain music keyboards can be considered displacement receivers in the sense that they respond to displacement, rather than velocity (as is more commonly the case). [ citation needed ] Examples of displacement-responding sensors include the mechanical action of tracker organs , as well as the force-sensing resistors found in music ...
