Load a fault
Start from a preset rather than an empty canvas. The fault is the gesture; the planet's deep modes are the voice.
Ephemera · Seismic sub-bass
The deep end, alive.
The Earth's deep modes, played. Load a fault, let it rupture, and let the planet's ringdown become the low foundation of a mix.

Your first phrase
Open the preview and choose a preset.
Play the on-screen keys to start the sound.
Adjust Magnitude and Rupture to shape the attack and ringdown.
The hero is a visual prelude. Open the instrument to play its sound.
Inside the instrument
A fault becomes a voice.
Shape the rupture
Magnitude and Rupture give the low end its attack. Move from a restrained onset toward a more forceful seismic gesture.
Keep the ringdown
Let the deep modes decay into a sustained foundation. Leave room above them for a melody, a field, or a flock.
Before you begin
A few things to know.
Is Mantle finished?
Mantle is a playable browser preview and remains in development. Start with the presets and on-screen keys; the interface and features may continue to evolve.
How is it different from Bassic?
Mantle starts with a fault and a seismic ringdown. Bassic starts with a driven nonlinear oscillator. One gives the mix a deep, resonant foundation; the other pushes a moving bass voice toward chaos.
Can I play it in Studio?
Yes. Mantle is one of the instruments connected to Studio's shared clock and mixer, where it can sit beneath the rest of the ensemble.
