Physics Nucleosynthesis, the process of creating new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons Kinematic synthesis, part of the process of designing a machine to achieve its objective
Electronics Logic synthesis, the process of converting a higher-level form of a design into a lower-level implementation High-level synthesis, an automated design process that interprets an algorithmic description of a desired behavior and creates hardware that implements that behavior Frequency synthesizer, an electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies
Speech and sound creation Sound synthesis, various methods of sound generation in audio electronics Wave field synthesis, a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments Subtractive synthesis, a method of creating a sound by removing harmonics, characterised by the application of an audio filter to an audio signal Frequency modulation synthesis, a form of audio synthesis where the timbre of a simple waveform is changed by frequency modulating it with a modulating frequency that is also in the audio range Speech synthesis, the artificial production of human speech
