Keep on eye on <a>Matrixsynth</a> today. I frequently post flickr shots with synths on them. I get a kick out of the synths in Second Life. I'll be putting up a couple of shots from your flickr set along with what you say here. BTW, ignore the trolls there as usual. If we were all exactly the same in opinion, life would be boring. : ) Thanks Dreamaiden. Keep on eye on Matrixsynth today. I frequently post flickr shots with synths on them.

A little late but I just discovered your post. I can answer your question on the synths in SL are created. Photos are take of the front, sides, and back. These have to be positioned just right, for example, the front has to be straight up and down exactly. The photos are then saved as .bmp or .jpg files and uploaded into SL where they become 'textures.' Then, 'prims' are created. Think of these as 3D physical MB. Like other 3D modeling programs you can create 3D shapes such as a box or ball. In this case, you create prims that are the shapes of the parts of the synth. Then you simply put the texture on the various parts and get it just right. Finally, you link them all together and violá, you have a synth. I recently had someone create the keyboards in my studio - the Andromeda, Karma, and Virus. You can see them on this page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/abbacadabra You are right. There are now various music stores that have lots of synths in them and more are springing up all the time. In fact, complete music studios complete with with sound are there too, some quite sophisticated. Cheers, Susan Baird www.dreamaiden.com Hi Matrix !

I wish I could go to that Berklee event, though. Too bad it's more than 3,000 miles away. Cool articles as always, Matrix. I wish I could go to that Berklee event, though.
