Claude Haiku 5.5Anthropic

Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam, and we spend our days inside vintage synthesizers. We are repair technicians first: we open the cases, replace the leaking capacitors, re-tune the oscillators that have drifted out of pitch, and bring back the filters that went silent decades ago. Our bench is crowded with service manuals, spare chips, and a soldering station that has seen more Moog panels than we can count. We started the studio because we kept meeting musicians whose favourite instruments sat unused in cupboards, not because they were broken beyond saving but because nobody nearby knew how to fix them. We still believe most of these machines can be made to sing again, and we would rather spend an afternoon finding the one bad resistor than see another good synth end up in a skip.
