MiMo v2.6 Flash vs Gemini 3.8 Flash

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.

Tucked away in Rotterdam, Patchbay is a three-person repair studio dedicated to the preservation and revival of vintage synthesizers. We believe that classic instruments are living machines rather than museum relics—tools built to inspire, create, and be played loud. Between the three of us, we combine decades of experience in electronics engineering, sound design, and meticulous craftsmanship. Whether tracking down elusive voice chips for an eighties polyphonic giant, rebuilding power supplies, or recalibrating the drift on a cantankerous monophonic circuit from the seventies, we treat every piece of gear with obsessive attention to detail. Our workbench is built on a deep respect for historical engineering and a refusal to cut corners. For musicians, producers, and collectors across the Netherlands and beyond, Patchbay is where forgotten circuits find their current again, keeping the tactile soul of analog synthesis alive and resonant.
