Wow! What a store. I'm a big modular synth nerd and this was a total blast! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the inventory is WILD! Every module you would want is available for testing. I could have stayed here for months, can't wait to go back :)

This store is incredible, check it out for yourself. The SP 404 is not for sale though, they said they only display it to tempt people

Brian P

First time buying from Patchwerks, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Easy website purchasing and quick in-store pickup. Jesse helped me troubleshoot some sound issues I was having with my new synth, then solved it all with a simple fix. Can’t overstate how grateful I am to all these folks for their time and attention to a new customer. Thanks!

river bastard

One of the best customer service experiences I've had, went in not knowing anything about the store and left with two synthesizers. Great experience 👍🏻 …

dB Velocity

Tom and Cindy are very passionate and always provide extraordinary service. The amount of work they do to build a community and strong network of synthesizer enthusiasts is amazing. Proud customer since day 1 and will always be grateful for this store.

John Phelan

Haven't been to the physical location, but I wanted to state these guys have the best and most efficient customer service in the game. They've gone above and beyond to ensure they have happy customers, and as someone who can choose from a number of online retailers, it means a lot. Thanks specifically to Nick for sorting out the STS!

Brady Buchanan

legitimately one of my favorite music shops I've ever been to! Incredibly knowledgeable staff that does not push any hard sales on you and provides objective feedback on any items you're looking to purchase. My only criticism is that I do not have the funds to purchase everything in the store 🌝 …

Ingrid Epoch

Great deal, they had exactly what i was looking for, shipped out super fast! They even sent a nice handwritten note and a sticker! great little personal touch!

Laura Musikanski

Friendly people. Very chill. Cool stuff nicely displayed

Erik Bailey

I mean, what a gem. Try the gear you only image buying, or save for. It's great to be able to experience top line gear and help pick which one you really want. Been eyeing a new synth and coming here let me feel out what I'll be getting.

JAK

Lovely synth shop. Lots of great gear to check out arranged in a series of thoughtful stations where visitors are encouraged to try before you buy.

Daniel Montesomething (synthbeans)

Amazing synth store full of friendly and knowledgeable staff that will literally help you with anything synth related. Their selection is great and ranges from modular stuff to grooveboxes to more performance keyboards and you can play with all of them. One of my favorite stores in all of Seattle, and I try to visit as often as I can to play with the new gear.

calder bischoff

Great synths and other gear, but most importantly, the kindest employees. In showrooms it's common to feel uncomfortable, but here they make you feel welcome no matter what level of knowledge you have. They take the time to get to know you and teach you about the different instruments.

Eric Jolliffe

Patchwerks is Seattle’s synthesizer shop. Staff is friendly and approachable, gear selection and availability is great. The showroom is huge and you can try out a lot of the gear yourself before making your purchases. Their website is also a great resource to find out what’s in stock, learn about new additions, and see available used gear. You can have anything shipped or select local pickup if you’re in or traveling to Seattle.

Richard Skelding

Since discovering Patchwerks I’ve been really happy with them. They have had modular synth modules I want and great prices. I’m in the Midwest and like buying from them over some of the closer places. The ship time has been great typically. Recommend for mail order.

Nick O

What a unique music experience. Immediately as you walk in, you are bombarded with what seems like millions of dollars of playable equipment (mostly synthesizers, keyboards, drumpads). The employees are kind and check in the perfect amount - I never felt interrupted while playing around with all the incredible equipment. Play around to your heart's content!

Loic Maestracci

Awesome store with a chance to try out many of the newly released synths.

shaun scenard

If you are a synthesizer enthusiast you will love this place. Amazing staff that is knowledgeable helpful friendly and welcoming. Inventory is mostly new with a small selection of used and "open box" deals. I feel very fortunate to have access to a resource like this. The owner deserves some sort of medal. Excellent work! A rare quality for a business owner

just an concoction of space dust

Awesome atmosphere. With an excellent selection. One of my favorite places to spend money 💰 …

Very Oliver Raft

Lovely shop for synths and components! Staff are so kind and helpful, always ready to provide suggestions or assistance when needed. We enjoyed spending time testing out some equipment and seeing what is new in the market.

Amy G.

So many bleep bloop boxes to play with! The new store is still getting furnished, but they have several different kinds of synthesizers, drum pads and modular set up and connected to speakers or headphones. You can also bring in your own if you want to focus on just the noise you're making. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Angela Pelletier

I went there when I came to Seattle for an Evanescence/Halestorm concert and this place makes me wish they had a store where I live. Aestheticly pleasing storefront and lots of cool gear set up so you can try things out. Staff are very helpful. They have a lot of good used stuff too (I managed to snag a behringer neutron for a great price and I'm lost in a good way with all the sound design possibilities).

Deb Stafford

For synthesizers, modulars, and other cool music equipment this place is beyond phenomenal. Amazing staff that is knowledgeable, super helpful, friendly, and fun. Patchwerks’ fab owners know their stuff and go above and beyond to make sure Seattle area musicians have access to the best music gear. Stylish, comfortable showroom with an impressive inventory. Guaranteed to make you smile, Patchwerks rocks!

Sean Fear

I wanted one little thing and walked out with 3 and hundreds of dollars poorer. I want all those modules!!! SELL THEM TO ME NOW!!! That isn't a picture of the store just some things they sold me.

Cameron MacNair

I have been here many times, the staff is always friendly, helpful, and super knowledgeable. They are very communicative about future stock orders too. So glad I'm local and can support them!

Joe Sircoulomb

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. nice selection of instruments at reasonable prices. Really nice to have a hub for electronic musicians in Seattle!

Matt Deeds

Staff are very helpful. Being able to try some new equipment in the store saved me a huge hassle of online returns. They have a great selection of gear here and after a lot of input from the staff, I found a great new unit.

Bobby Yost

Patchwerks is an amazing shop and we are lucky to have them around! Every time I've asked a question, needed help, or wanted to order something that was out of stock, the staff have gone above and beyond my expectations to help out and to make the process as easy as possible. They recently went so far as to send me a backup module for an order that I thought had arrived broken. The mistake ended up being my own, but they were there for me through the whole process, and never hesitated to help out when I asked.

Ab C

The only place to go for Modular or really anything Synth related. They have a great display/demo of tons of different modules for you to experiment with and learn about. Staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. It's about as different from guitar center as one could imagine. Great staff, easy returns if you need, small local and community oriented. They do all kinds of cool little groups and events to educate the community on everything music related. I love the shop, and I love the idea behind it. To me our country and the world would be a better place if more places like this existed. They have great prices and selection of new and used gear, but I would even pay a little more then I would online to support a place like this. It's not easy being a small business in this city but the owner here does it right and obviously is passionate about his business.

Tom Maxson

Great selection of synths and knowledgeable staff, friendly atmosphere where you feel comfortable trying stuff out

Roman Guenther

Synthesizer heaven. Wide variety of models, plugged in and ready to have their knobs twisted. Knowledgeable, helpful staff. Go make weird sounds

Sebkabob

Amazing staff and selection, the store is small but it makes it feel more personal and homey. They literally have the best of the best and everyone who works there can put a show on for any of the synths.

Mark Katon

I have been coming here for about a year. Bought some great equipment (Digitakt, Korg Wavestate, Korg Volca Drum, Korg NTS - 1) and am super happy that there is a place like this in Seattle. This is the premiere destination for those who know how to use synthesizers and they have a huge selection of modular equipment (on my bucket list one day when I am rich). I used to go to a music giant known more for guitars but always got sub par quality, limited selection and often that equipment was open box and sold "as new" only to be disappointed when a button or knob was all messed up and had to bring it back. Patchwerks has always given me brand new, unopened and always functional equipment. Come to this place if you want to make some fine electronic music! This place is for the pros!

Martin P

Lots of good gear, cool staff, nice ambience. Plenty of time and space to try things out. Well worth an in-person visit.

LSB

Incredibly helpful and responsive staff. A synth store that is as jammed full of excellent gear, including some vintage stuff! Huge selection of modular gear and a very good curated selection of large format synths (Hydra, Prophets, a DX7s, Moog, etc). If you are into electronic music Patchwerks is a MUST visit if you are anywhere near Seattle!!! Thanks for the gear so far, im sure ill be back for more!

Zack Scholl

My favorite music store in Seattle, hands down. Everything they have is so awesome, and their staff is so good at showing you how awesome everything is. Especially for a newbie like me, I didn't know exactly what I wanted. In November I was looking to buy my first synthesizer with a few specifications (on-board recording, good sounds, beginner level) and they showed me great options that fit perfectly. I've been absolutely ecstatic with my purchase ever since. Two months later I found myself coming back to get a second synthesizer (getting a synthesizer is dangerous!) and I had a different set of parameters (good bass, good arpeggio, intermediate level) and again they showed me some great options.

Joe Trotta

Incredible staff. I'm so thankful a place like this exists nearby. I stopped by a few times to browse synths and modules because modular synthesis was something I often admired from a distance. I told the staff each time that I was just browsing, and they left me alone. They have an amazing selection of gear to play with in their showroom, which is super crucial for deciding what to put in your rack. When the day came that I decided to build a modular setup, I came in and asked for some help. All five employees at the store were experienced modular synth users themselves, and they all came to my aid to recommend modules, help me find what I was looking for, and suggest more to look for in the future. They honestly seemed like they were having as much fun as I was! I'll be returning to Patchwerks as my first stop for any and all of my future modular gear purchases, and I highly recommend them to anyone curious about modular synths, as well as semi-modular and some more traditional gear.

Jason Jester

Went to this amazing synth only store today with my techy musician son. We got to play with so many goodies. The whole store is set up to experience. Laura was fantastic. She was perfect in welcoming us and showing us how to use all the gear. A creative beautiful soul. Antonio is a technically deep audiophile with super geek skills and know how. Great shop. We are lucky to have this place. See you Wednesday night!

Jeff Knapp

I haven’t purchased anything from these guys —. yet — but I did visit them a while back to check out the store. They were very friendly and helpful, very willing to spend time with me as well as just leave me alone to spend a considerable amount of time with one of their eurorack setups. They have also been very responsive with my email inquiries. I give them very high marks for all of this.

mesadeco mesadeco

THE BEST customer service and follow up, what service in the USA should be. Went out of their way to insure a shipment was on its way and followed up to the day of deliver, couldn’t be happier with Thomas Coates and Patchwerks. 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 …

Mike Clarke

This is one of the coolest (or most dangerous, for your wallet) retail shops in Seattle - a showroom with a huge variety of electronic music gear, cables and other accessories, and even a few books that you can't find on Amazon.

Bryan Head

These guys are the best. They were more then happy to spend a bunch of time helping me figure out what was wrong with my rack even after it became clear that the problem was with stuff I had bought elsewhere. Even once we found out the module they sold me was fine, they offered to swap it out anyway and extended the return window on it just in case.

Fergus Hammond

Every so often, you find a place that explains why brick and mortar shops will never be replaced by Amazon. Patchwerks is one of these places. I'd been looking for an OP-1, was visiting Seattle for the day, and found Patchwerks listed as a Teenage Engineer reseller. I sent them a message on Facebook to make sure they had one in stock, they got right back to me (even before their opening hours), and I showed up right as they opened. They were super friendly and I just wanted to ditch my meeting and hang out in their shop for the rest of the day. Their business isn't really my scene - I was buying the OP-1 for my son - but I've got a pretty good sense of what shops you can trust to get good advice (even when it's to buy something cheaper) and I immediately got the strong sense Patchwerks is this sort of place. Check them out and support a great local business. It's time for me to catch my flight home and open with the OP-1 (it's not *just* for my son!).

Preston Hardwick

So much gear! 😍 Hannah took her time and walked me through my first modular experience today. The staff here is knowledgeable and more then happy to teach you about their products. Wish i could rate this spot 10/5!!! …

Anthony Estrella

Super helpful and friendly staff. Went in to look at a moog m32 and the guy there walked me through the basic functions and sound, offered some tips, and even made some future recommendations. Definitely coming back for more

Joon Park

Professional equipment, great people who give you honest advice and suggestions. I learned so much from Mathew who taught me so much about making electronic music. Now I am going to start making music again after having been in hibernation for over 15 years.

Seaofsinewave

Very friendly and helpful staff. They helped me install my modules for my first system. Thanks so much! Great shop.

Marc Losoya

Awesome place to try out synthesizers and other hardware in-person before making a purchase! Super nice staff. And they had exactly what I was looking for.

Julian Bayardo

Patchwerks has great staff! I bought a Korg Minilogue from them some time back, and was having issues connecting it to my other hardware. Took it to the store, and they helped me debug the issue. It turned out to be my cable was bad, would have never figured it out myself!

gliderflyer

If you're into synths then you need to get into Patchwerks. If you're not into synths then you will be after seeing all the cool stuff, new and used. These are some great folks running a great business.

Patchwerks is a really special place for music equipment in Seattle. They focus on synthesizers and modular synths which filled a great demand for such things.
