The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 16 is a standalone keyboard kit featuring individual tunable keys and a programmable step sequencer designed to control the Modular 400 or other Eurorack modular systems. This kit includes a metal chassis, keyboard, 16 trim knobs, a value knob, four rubber feet, chassis screws, and a screwdriver. The included manual guides you through the process of assembly.

The Modular 16's sequencer features 16 slots, 4 tracks per slot, and 1 pattern per track. Store up to 64 independent patterns, and each pattern can be up to 64 steps long. Each of the 16 slots are labeled by the numbers 1-16, which also represent keys on the keyboard. The 4 tracks are labeled T1-T3, as well as TK, where K stands for keyboard. Play notes and program patterns using the keyboard and use the knobs to control CV. Patch the CV/gate outputs to your other operator modular units or to any other compatible device. Additionally, a PO Sync output is available to synchronize pocket operators, as well as MIDI output, which can control MIDI gear.
