Synthesis (from the Ancient Greek ''σύν'' (with) and ''θεσις'' (placing), is commonly understood to be an integration of two or more pre-existing elements which results in a new creation. PHILOSOPHICAL SYNTHESIS The term is broad in meaning and can apply to Physical , Ideological , and/or Phenomenological entities. In Dialectic s, synthesis is the final result of attempts to reconcile the inherent contradiction between Thesis and Antithesis . Along with the similar concept of integration, synthesis is generally considered to be an important element of modern Philosophy , particularly in the various emerging ideas often considered to be Holistic (as opposed to Reductionistic ). CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS See Also: Chemical synthesis In Chemistry , Chemical Synthesis is the process of forming a particular molecule from chemical precursors. Synthesis formula is A+B=AB SYNTHESIS IN ELECTRONICS AND ACOUSTICS In electronic musical instruments, Sound Synthesis is the method of sound generation a piece of hardware or software may employ, e.g. the " Access Virus B" Synthesizer mainly uses Subtractive Synthesis , but can use FM synthesis too. Modern electronic keyboard instruments are based around digital sound synthesizers that create audio waveforms that sound like they came from a violin or Koto , without an actual violin or koto, because the sound is synthesized. A Video Synthesizer electronically creates TV signals without necessarily requiring the use of a TV camera. Moving abstract patterns, text subtitles, colorized or processed camera images can all be in the output of a video synthesizer. Analog video synthesizers included the Sandin Image Processor , the Rutt-Etra , Steve Beck's "Beck Direct" Synthesizer, Bill Hearn's colorizer, and the seminal work of Nam Jun Paik . Early digital synthesizers included Stephen Beck's Video Weavings, the 2901 bit slice processor from Steina and Woody Vasulka with Schier and Dosch, Sandin's Digital Image Colorizer, Etra's "Kangaroo Giant Box" , and the Fluidigeo Synthesizer. Documentation on the history of video synthesizers can also be found at {Link without Title} . In the world of Electronic Design Automation , (logic) synthesis is the process of converting a digital design written in a Hardware Description Language (HDL) into a low-level implementation consisting of primitive logic gates. Most large integrated circuits designed today are written in an HDL and "compiled" using a (logic) synthesis product. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
