OK so I have been testing over the past few days and I "think" I have found the system for lining up what time(the little clock bar) you need to perform each synth to a corresponding glow. I have put it into a chart.
A basic example is if you are cooking and you have a white ball and you want to do a standard synth you want the bar 75% full(when it's all yellow thats 100% running out of time is 0%. This is just a basic chart and I was in a rush to do this write up, if you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Feel free to try it out and let me know your results but so far this system has been flawless for me.
Also this is only for a synth success, I have yet to determine if you can "control" what color ball you are getting and if the ball itself benefits any kinda synth. This chart is simply for success rate.
