POKIT: Eurorack conversion kit for the Pocket Operator Keyboard
The Model 16 Pocket Operator Keyboard (M-16) from Teenage Engineering packs four channels of powerful modular sequencing, arpeggiation, and quantizing functionality into one very affordable standalone device.
POKIT provides an easy way to integrate the M-16 into your Eurorack system. This conversion kit includes a Eurorack-compatible front panel, a power conversion adapter that plugs directly into your Eurorack power distribution board, custom fasteners to connect everything together, and gray knobs supplied by Teenage Engineering.
Because the Teenage Engineering modular system was designed for compatibility with Eurorack CV standards, POKIT is all that's required to convert the standalone M-16 into a Eurorack module that works your existing Eurorack case and power supply.
What's Included
POKIT includes the following:
One Eurorack-compatible front panel. 42 hp wide, 2mm thick, black anodized aluminum, precision manufactured in Germany.
Passive power adapter (with reversed power protection). Plugs directly into your Eurorack busboard like any standard Eurorack power cable.
Black nylon fasteners for attaching the M-16 electronics to the POKIT panel. The total depth of the finished assembly is only 18 mm.
16 gray knobs from Teenage Engineering. The original unit has red knobs, so the gray knobs complete the "grayscale" aesthetic of the POKIT.
The membrane keyboard is an optional addition. If you've already attached the original keyboard to the M-16 enclosure, you'll need this because the adhesive is permanent.
The MIDI OUT and SYNC OUT jacks from the M-16 can also be brought to the front panel. This requires drilling two holes (marked on the front panel), installing two standard 3.5mm jacks, and soldering four wires. This modification requires basic DIY skills and tools, no tech support is offered by Grayscale or Teenage Engineering.
Note that the M-16 unit itself is NOT included and must be purchased separately from Teenage Engineering or one of their retail partners.

If you haven't already assembled your M-16, you probably don't need the extra membrane keyboard, because the M-16 includes one. The extra keyboard is offered for those who have already adhered the original keyboard to the standalone enclosure. Alternately you may purchase an extra keyboard if you want to swap the M-16 electronics between the original enclosure and your Eurorack system as needed.
