This Sound Designer t-shirt is a great gift for modular synth musicians, sound designers, and fans of SonicLAB and Nick Batt's synth reviews on Sonic State. It's an homage to his regular references to "sing-song harmonics" - the vocal, formant-like tones that resonant filters give to synthesized sounds

Q: What are formants and why do they make synth sounds seem vocal? A: Formants are the resonant frequencies shaped by the mouth and throat that give vowel sounds their character. Synth filters can mimic this effect by emphasizing similar resonant bands, giving a patch a "singing" or vocal-like quality even without an actual voice
