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 devoted to keeping vintage synthesizers alive, playable, and full of character. We work on instruments that have spent decades in studios, bedrooms, and tour cases, and we believe each one deserves more than a quick fix. From drifting oscillators and noisy sliders to tired keybeds and mysterious faults, we take the time to listen, diagnose, and repair with care.
Our approach combines patient troubleshooting, period-correct components where possible, and a deep respect for the original sound. We do not believe in erasing an instrument’s history; we preserve the quirks that make it worth loving. Whether your synthesizer needs a full overhaul or a little help getting back on stage, you will always know who is working on it and why. Patchbay exists for the joy of switching on an old machine and hearing it come back to life.
Patchbay is three people in a workshop in Rotterdam, trying to keep old synthesizers alive. We repair, restore and recalibrate the instruments that shaped electronic music: Moogs and Oberheims, Rolands and Sequential Circuits, the odd temperamental Soviet oddity that someone found in an attic.
Most of what lands on our benches has been silent for years. A crackling pot, a drifting oscillator, a power supply that gave up in 1994. Some come from working musicians who need their instrument back before the next tour. Others come from people who inherited a dusty box from a parent and want to hear what it sounds like.
We work slowly and by hand. We trace faults with a scope and a schematic, source or rebuild parts when originals are gone, and change as little as we can. Every synth leaves with a note describing exactly what we did, so the next person to open it knows where we have been.
Come by, bring your synth, and stay for coffee.
