The Synapse and Soma are almost identicle. The base dps on the Synapse is better than the soma but once you equip them both with crit mods, the average damage per shot is almost exactly the same because the Soma's crit damage makes it scale better. With that said, the Soma shoots faster than the synapse supposedly, so based on that and the fact that the Soma comes with 2 polarities, I don't understand how the Synapse can possibly do more dps than the soma. It's basically just a slightly weaker Soma with more utility (slightly better ammo economy, faster reload, elemental base damage).
