Syntetoidut

Syntetoidut is a Finnish term that translates to "synthesized" or "synthetic" in English. It is primarily used in the context of music production and sound design.

In music, "syntetoidut" refers to sounds that are created electronically using synthesizers rather than being recorded from acoustic instruments or real-world sources. This can include a wide range of sounds, from imitative instrumental sounds to entirely new and abstract sonic textures. Synthesizers manipulate electronic signals to generate waveforms, which are then shaped through filters, envelopes, and other modulation techniques to produce the desired sound.

The term is also applicable to other areas where artificial creation is involved. For example, in chemistry, it can refer to synthetic compounds. In the broader sense, it denotes something that is not naturally occurring but has been manufactured or produced artificially. The use of "syntetoidut" emphasizes the origin of a sound or material as being a product of deliberate human creation through artificial means.
