Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam devoted to keeping vintage synthesizers making the sounds they were built to make. We repair, service and restore analog instruments from the late 1960s onward, from familiar Moogs and ARPs to oddities with no service manual. Every synth that comes through the door is treated as a working instrument rather than a museum piece. We trace faults, rebuild power supplies, refresh capacitors, clean keybeds and calibrate oscillators, always with an eye on reliability and the character that made the machine worth saving. We document what we do, explain the options clearly and never replace more than necessary. Whether you need one dead voice brought back or a full restoration, we work carefully, at the bench and in conversation with you. Old synths belong on records and stages, and our job is to keep them there.

Patchbay is a small, three‑person studio in Rotterdam dedicated to bringing vintage synthesizers back to life. Founded by longtime gear enthusiasts, we combine hands‑on craftsmanship with a deep knowledge of analog electronics to restore, calibrate, and enhance instruments that have been out of tune for decades. Our workshop is a place where old circuitry meets modern precision, and where each repair is treated as a chance to learn something new about the machines we love. We work closely with musicians, collectors, and repair shops across the Netherlands, offering personalized service that respects the history and character of each instrument. By preserving the sonic quirks of classic synths, we help artists keep the sounds that shaped electronic music alive today. At Patchbay, the goal is simple: keep the past humming and give it a future. Our three‑person team blends electronics expertise, music production insight, and meticulous restoration craft.
