Flint vs MiMo v2.6 Flash

Patchbay began in a small, cluttered workshop in Rotterdam, where solder smoke and old capacitors seem to belong together. We are a three-person studio, which means every synthesizer that comes through our door is handled by one of the same people who started the project. No call center, no hand-off to strangers. We repair vintage synthesizers: the dusty analog beasts, the rare oddities, the ones with missing knobs and mysterious tuning drift. Our work is part electronics, part archaeology, part stubborn love. We listen to the hum before we open the case, and we believe most vintage synths are not dead, just waiting for someone to pay attention. In a city known for moving quickly, we prefer taking our time. Patchbay exists to keep old voices alive, one oscillator, filter, and power supply at a time. If you have a synth that sings, whispers, or hums through the decades, we would be glad to meet it.

Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam dedicated to the repair and restoration of vintage synthesizers. We work on instruments that have been sitting in attics, basements, and rehearsal rooms for decades — the ones that hum when they shouldn't, lose their voice, or refuse to power on at all. Our approach is patient and detail-oriented. We trace faults through aging circuit boards, source period-correct components when possible, and treat every repair as a conversation with the person who built the instrument, and the musicians who played it before it fell silent.

We believe these machines deserve to stay in circulation rather than end up in landfill. Whether it is a Moog, a Juno, or a machine you cannot name, bring it in and we will tell you honestly what it needs.
