synthetic katydids

The sound of a katydid (a cricket-like insect) created either via computer software or synthesizer hardware. Found in some types of Hi-NRG music.

I listened to a song by some Hi-NRG group a few days ago that had synthetic katydids in it.

Nigga synthesis

nig-ga syn-the-sis: n. Perpetual bond between niggas over an appreciation of trivial or ignorant things. This is the opposite of a nigga moment, which is perpetual conflict between niggas over trivial or ignorant things. This is unlike a bond between friends or family members, which is mutually beneficial to all of the parties involved.

When a nigga moment collides with a nigga synthesis, you get a Complete (fucking) Disaster:

Nigga Moment + Nigga Synthesis = Complete Disaster.

Remember this equation, you will need it later nigga!

Nigga Moment (fight between Bushido Brown and Stinkmeaner's crew) + Nigga Synthesis (Stinkmeaner's crew which exists for the sole purpose of spreading ignorance and chaos, particularly in the black community) = Complete Disaster (Bushido Brown's beheading.)

synthetic finger popping

The sound of somebody popping their fingers, created solely by synthesizer hardware or computer software synthesis -- not all unlike how synthetic clapping, synthetic cans, synthetic car horns, etc. are produced.

Kat McSnatch's song, "I Don't Like You" is terrific, but it would be even better if it had synthetic finger popping it instead of real finger popping.

Synthesizer

A musical instrument that generates sound using oscillators, LFO's, filters, sequencers, and other things of that nature. Most true synthesizers are controlled with three things, a keyboard of various sizes, pitch bend and modulation wheels, and a complex interface of knobs and switches. The Minimoog is a great example of this. But the main thing that makes synthesizers so unique and beautiful sounding is that they are not limited by the physical world to create sound. They are not a string instrument, wind instrument, or percussion instrument. Synthesizers are classified as quintephones. Which means they create sound informaticly. Synthesizers are very expensive but are a great thing to own and use!

The Minimoog is a synthesizer with three oscillators, the very first electronic music filter ever created, and therefore sounds incredibly fat and meaty.

Synthesizers are primarily used for electronic music and classic rock.
