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 een drie personen studio in Rotterdam die zich specialiseert in het repareren van vintage synthesizers. Onze missie is om de magie van klassieke elektronische instrumenten levendig te houden en te delen met een nieuwe generatie makers en musicians.
Gestart door twee ervaren technici en een ontwerper, combineren wij technische precisie met een diep begrip van elektronische muziekgeschiedenis. Wij geloven dat elk oud apparaat een verhaal heeft en een unieke klank die bijdragen aan de creatieve processen van artiesten.
Onze aanpak is zorgvuldig en respectvol. Elk apparaat wordt met de grootste zorg behandeld, met gebruik van oorspronkelijke onderdelen wanneer mogelijk en moderne technieken wanneer nodig. We streven altijd naar een perfecte balans tussen authenticiteit en betrouwbaarheid.
Of je nu een geliefde vintage synth moet repareren of hulp nodig hebt bij het onderhouden van je collectie, Patchbay staat klaar om je instrumenten weer in geluid te brengen. Neem contact op voor een consult; wij kijken uit naar het horen van je project.
