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 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.
Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam dedicated to the care, repair, and resurrection of vintage synthesizers. We started in a small workshop near the Maas, surrounded by oscillators, patch cables, and service manuals, because these instruments deserve more than dusty shelves and hasty fixes. Between us, we have decades of experience in electronics, sound design, and restoration, but we approach every machine with the same curiosity: listen first, trace the signal, understand the history, then bring it back to life. Whether it's a crackly filter, a dead voice card, a drifting oscillator, or a power supply that needs rebuilding, we work carefully, honestly, and with respect for original character. We also advise on maintenance, calibrate tuning and envelopes, and source hard-to-find parts when possible. At Patchbay, repair isn't just about making sound again. It's about keeping these instruments making music for decades to come.
