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 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.
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.
