Drum machines and samplers

We repair and modify classic drum machines and samplers, preserving the character and feel that makes them great.

Analog / digital

Virtually all drum machines and samplers depend on a hybrid of digital and analog technology, requiring a broad skill-set and understanding to properly troubleshoot and maintain. We have been repairing and living with these machines for many years and have a strong familiarity with their function and typical failure points.
