  It is called substractive synthesis become we removed frequencies from
a give wave form.  Filtering the waveform removes frequencies, i guess
you already know that. And since filtering is the basic part of
substractive. I guess its called substractive for that reason.

Anyways... please correct me if Im wrong.
