A synthetic mode is a mode that cannot be derived from the diatonic scale by starting on a different note.[1] Whereas the seven modes are all derived from the same scale and therefore can coincide with each other (e.g. B Locrian, A Aeolian, and D Dorian all share the same notes with the C Major Scale), synthetic modes work differently.
