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 was born from a simple frustration in Rotterdam: the belief that vintage synthesizers should be heard, not locked away in climate-controlled collections. Founded by three engineers and musicians who share an obsession with the raw, unpredictable character of analog gear, we operate out of a small studio where the smell of soldering iron and ozone is as common as coffee. We don’t just fix broken circuits; we restore the soul of these machines. Whether it’s a temperamental Moog, a glitchy Roland, or a rare obscure European find, we treat every patch cord and potentiometer with reverence and precision. Our trio combines decades of electronic music production experience with meticulous hardware restoration skills, ensuring that every repair honors the original design while making the instrument reliable for modern stage use. We believe that the quirks of vintage technology are features, not bugs. Our goal is to bridge the gap between historical preservation and contemporary creativity, giving these legendary instruments a second life in today’s soundscapes. Join us in keeping the analog signal chain alive.
Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam dedicated to the repair and restoration of vintage synthesizers. We spend our days with soldering irons and oscilloscopes, coaxing life back into instruments that were built to last and mostly did, until they didn't.
Between us we cover decades of combined experience with analog and early digital circuitry, from the classics of Roland, Korg, Moog, and ARP to the odd, wonderful machines that never made it big. We treat every repair with the same care, whether it's a flagship polysynth or a broken drum machine with a devoted following.
Our workshop sits in the west of the city. You're welcome to visit — bring the instrument, bring the story behind it. We like hearing both.
What we don't know we research, and what we can't source we sometimes fabricate. Nothing gets written off before we've tried.
