In this workspace analog test & measurement equipment from the 50s and 60s can be found. This equipment was originally not intended for making music, but the early electronic music composers proved that this actually could (Stockhausen, Maderna, Varèse, Xenakis et al.) This specific Studio contains, apart from the more traditional instruments like sine and pulse generators and various filters, some very special instruments that are used for music only quite recently, like the analog computers and the nuclear instrument modules (NIM). Most instruments are manually controlled, apart from some early voltage controlled instruments. Together, they essentially form one large, unique synthesizer. Tape recorder technique, an essential component of the first electronic music and musique concrete, is also present in this Studio.

In the second Studio you can work with an extensive range of analog synthesizers from the 1970’s-1980’s era. Three main instrument categories are ready to meet you: 1-The analog modular voltage controlled synthesizers, like the ARP 2500, ARP 2600, Serge Modular, Oberheim SEM's and EMS Putney. (The Willem Twee Studios ARP 2500 is probably the only one publicly accessible in Europe). 2-The analog voltage controlled keyboard synthesizers without memory, such as ARP Omni-2, ARP Axxe, Minimoog, PPG1002, The Wasp & Spider, SCI Pro One, JUNO-60, Yamaha CS-60 etc. 3-The analog/hybrid keyboard synthesizers with memory, like the SCI Prophet 5 and Prophet 600, Korg Polysix, Rhodes Chroma Polaris, Oberheim Matrix-6, some of which have MIDI. Some first fully digital synthesizers are there as well: The Yamaha DX-7 and DX-7fd-II and Nord Modulars. MIDI to CV units are available too. With many thanks to the Art museum The Hague we can now offer everyone these exceptional historic synthesizer instruments for several years to come.

With Studio 3.1 we aim to make a mini version of our Studio 1 using various B&K filters, function generators and tape recorders. With this setup it’s possible to modulate numerous sound sources or your own pre-recorded sounds using a DAC, PC and thoughtful routing of the various filters and taperecorder. Instruments / effects: Hp Function generator 3301B, Wavetek function generator 182A, B&K Sine-Random generator Type 102, B&K Bandpass Filter Type 1612, 2x B&K Bandpass Filter Type 1612, B&K Audio Frequency Spectrometer Type 2112, Studer A80, Allen & Heath GL2 14ch mixer, Roland RSP-550, Focusrite Saphire PRO14

Studio 3.2 consists of a Roland TR-606 drumcomputer, TB-303 basscomputer and the famous SH-101, accompanied by a versatile Juno 106 synth. The instrument combination makes a very friendly entry-level setup suitable for quick electronic music jams by clocking all instruments together. Instruments: Roland SH-101 polyfone synthesizer, Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, Roland TR-606 drumcomputer, Yamaha CS01 synthesizer, Roland Juno106

Studio 3.3 consists of a PPG, Moog and Korg monophonic synth. The PPG is accompanied with its corresponding sequencer, giving it the option to voltage control the oscillator, filter and timestep Instruments: • PPG 1002 monophonic synthesizer + PPG 314 Sequencer and PPG 313 sequential switch • Moog The Rogue monophonic synthesizer • Korg 770 monophonic synthesizer • Sequential Pro-One

Setups 3.4 consist of a Synton Fenix IV from TiNRS which is suitable for both beginner and more advanced patching using the guide from TiNRS. In addition, one of the first modular synths is added to the setup, the classic EMS VCS3 (nicknamed the Putney). Instruments: • Fenix IV van Synton / TINRS • EMS Synthi VCS 3 Type II

Studio 3.5 consist of various Korg 80’s synths and sequencers (MS-10, MS-20, MS-50 and SQ-10). The instrument can be used separately and can be cross patched, ideal for creating experimental 80 sounds. Instruments: • MS-20 synthesizer • MS-10 synthesizer • MS-50 synthesizer • SQ-10 analog sequencer • Korg VC-10 Vocoder

The Willem Twee Toonzaal; a small concert hall with great acoustics. It offers a Steinway grand piano and a small pipe organ. Various microphone recording options are possible. Because we have audio lines from and to the other electronic Studios, the hall can be used as reverb space as well.
