Patchbay is a small repair studio in Rotterdam dedicated to vintage synthesizers. We are three people who care about old instruments, their history, and the players who keep them alive. From classic analog polys to rare drum machines, we take the time to understand each machine before we touch it. Our work is practical and respectful: careful diagnosis, honest advice, and repairs that preserve the character of the instrument. We know these synths are more than circuits and knobs. They carry stories from studios, stages, and secondhand shops, and they deserve to be treated with patience. Whether a machine needs a simple clean, a full restoration, or help finding a hard-to-source part, we aim to make the process clear and personal from start to finish. Based in Rotterdam, we help musicians, collectors, and studios keep old synthesizers making sound for years to come. We do it with patience and respect.

Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam with a very specific obsession: bringing vintage synthesizers back to life. We are three technicians and musicians who spend our days surrounded by circuit boards, calibration tapes, and the smell of solder, coaxing sound out of machines that have been silent for years. From wobbly oscillators and dead keys to crackling faders and drifting filters, we diagnose, repair, and restore analog instruments with the patience they deserve. Our workshop is stocked with rare spare parts, original service manuals, and a deep archive of hard-won knowledge about classics from Moog, Roland, Sequential, Korg, and ARP. We love these instruments not as museum pieces, but as living tools that still have music in them. Every synthesizer that leaves our bench is tested, played, and calibrated so it feels reliable enough for the stage, the studio, or the late-night jam that inspired it in the first place.
