About

Write the opening of the About us page for Patchbay, a three-person studio in Rotterdam that repairs vintage synthesizers. About 150 words.

Patchbay is three people and one workshop in Rotterdam, and we spend our days bringing old synthesizers back to life. Most of what arrives at our bench is somewhere between thirty and fifty years old: a Juno with a dead voice chip, a Minimoog that drifts out of tune the moment the room warms up, a Polysix whose battery has quietly eaten its own circuit board. We know these instruments inside and out because we have had hundreds of them open on the table.

We started Patchbay because we kept meeting musicians who had been told their synth was not worth fixing. We disagree. These machines were built to be serviced, and with the right parts, enough patience, and a good set of schematics, almost any of them can be made to play again. When we hand an instrument back, we want it to sound the way it did the day it left the factory, or better.

Patchbay is een drie personen studio in Rotterdam die zich specialiseert in het repareren van vintage synthesizers. Onze missie is om de magie van klassieke elektronische instrumenten levendig te houden en te delen met een nieuwe generatie makers en musicians.

Gestart door twee ervaren technici en een ontwerper, combineren wij technische precisie met een diep begrip van elektronische muziekgeschiedenis. Wij geloven dat elk oud apparaat een verhaal heeft en een unieke klank die bijdragen aan de creatieve processen van artiesten.

Onze aanpak is zorgvuldig en respectvol. Elk apparaat wordt met de grootste zorg behandeld, met gebruik van oorspronkelijke onderdelen wanneer mogelijk en moderne technieken wanneer nodig. We streven altijd naar een perfecte balans tussen authenticiteit en betrouwbaarheid.

Of je nu een geliefde vintage synth moet repareren of hulp nodig hebt bij het onderhouden van je collectie, Patchbay staat klaar om je instrumenten weer in geluid te brengen. Neem contact op voor een consult; wij kijken uit naar het horen van je project.
