Synthetic modes are modes that cannot be derived from the major or minor scales. Whereas the seven major modes, along with harmonic and melodic minor modes are all derived from the same scale and therefore can coincide with each other (i.e. B Locrian, A Aeolian, and D Dorian all coming to be the notes of the C Major Scale), synthetic modes work differently.
