This video, via sonicstate, takes a tour through Kytopia in Utrecht, NL and the fantastic Sonar Traffic synth collection.
In the video, Sonic Traffic’s Allert Aalders tours the Kytopia building (formerly the Tivoli theater) and then through the ST studio.
Sonar Traffic is a studio that offers recording, sample libraries and more. Here’s what they have to say about their massive synth collection:
We are synth freaks. Our large collection of vintage analog & digital hardware synthesizers, drumcomputers and effects is here for you to enjoy. Replace your plug-in tracks with analog monsters, record with the machines directly, jam on drum machines and sequencers.

You can find out more about the studio at the Sonar Traffic site.
Wow,,,a real treat with a Master sound engineer. I used to be at CBGB in New York before they closed down. Alas. nostalgia. Great Elektro sounds. Thanks
Nice to see the place where I used to go out is still being put to good use :).
These guys not only have a cool sound design studio, but they have a museum-quality collection of classic synths. The music hall looks really nice, too.
They have the Wavestation in the drumcomputer section. Is that cos it’s digital, or have I been using it wrong?! 😉
Wow.
I would never leave that place, just crash on the couch then back to “work”.
That Synton is bad ass. I was unaware of its’ existence.
The outplay is inspiring.
Has Sonar Traffic produced any albums/CD’s?
