AFAIK, synchronous mode is what jack1 does:

  read from soundcard
  process graph
  write to soundcard

while jack2's default mode is

  write output of previous cycle to soundcard
  read from soundcard
  process graph

which is somewhat more resilient to occasional xruns,
but adds one cycle of latency.
