Acidlab is a German manufacturer of analog synthesizers and drum machines based in Rosenheim, Bavaria. The company specializes in hardware that reimagines classic Roland circuitry, producing tribute-style instruments with upgraded features, extended parameter ranges, and modern I/O. Its reputation within the acid and techno scenes is built largely on a small, focused catalog rather than a wide product range.

The lineup includes the Miami, an analog drum computer inspired by the TR-808; the Detroit, a drum machine based on TR-909 circuitry; and the Drumatix, which pays tribute to the TR-606. On the synth side, the Bassline3 is a TB-303-style monosynth with a redesigned sequencer, while the Bombass is a more expanded TB-303-voiced analog synthesizer with multiple oscillators, sync, ring modulation, noise, sub-oscillator, and an LFO section. The M303 offers the 303 voice in a standalone/modular form, and utility boxes like the Robokop trigger sequencer and Autobot sequencer round out the ecosystem.

Acidlab gear is commonly found in the studios and live rigs of acid house, acid techno, and electro producers who want the character of vintage Roland machines with improved sequencing, MIDI integration, and build quality. The instruments are sold directly and through boutique electronic music retailers across Europe.

acidlab has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Tabletop Synthesizers, Drum Machines, and Synthesizers. Their gear is featured by 18 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Paul Birken, Martin L. Gore, and Paul Kalkbrenner.
