POKIT
POM-16 Conversion Kit
POKIT: a Eurorack conversion kit for the Pocket Operator Keyboard
The Pocket Operator Model 16 (POM-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 POM-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 POM-16 into a Eurorack module that works your existing Eurorack case and power supply.
Order Form
Paypal is used for checkout. Credit cards are accepted even if you don't have a Paypal account. Shipping costs will be calculated during checkout based on your location.
There are now three options: partial kit (POKIT only, does not include POM-16), complete kit (POKIT plus the POM-16 electronics, some assembly required), and fully assembled (usable immediately, no assembly required). The membrane keyboard itself can also be purchased separately (this option does not include the kit or electronics).
As of Jan 1, 2024 the POM-16 can be added as an option.
What's Included
POKIT includes the following:
- One Eurorack-compatible front panel. 42 hp wide, 2mm thick, matte black anodized aluminum with two-color print.
- Passive power adapter (with reversed voltage protection). Plugs directly into your Eurorack busboard like any standard Eurorack power cable.
- Black nylon fasteners for attaching the POM-16 electronics to the POKIT panel. The total depth of the finished assembly is less than 20 mm (skiff friendly).
- 16 gray knobs from Teenage Engineering. The original unit has red knobs, so the gray knobs complete the "grayscale" aesthetic of the POKIT.
- An extra membrane keyboard, just in case you've already adhered the original keyboard to the red POM-16 enclosure
The membrane keyboard is an optional addition. If you've already attached the original keyboard to the POM-16 enclosure, you'll need this because the adhesive is permanent and the original keyboard cannot be removed.
The MIDI OUT and SYNC OUT jacks from the POM-16 can also be brought to the front panel. This requires drilling two 3mm holes (marked on the front panel), installing two 3.5mm TRS jacks, and soldering four wires. This modification requires basic DIY skills and tools, no tech support is offered by Grayscale or Teenage Engineering.
