What Looncloud does

Loopcloud is a cloud-based music sample discovery and management subscription platform operated by Loopmasters Limited, a privately held UK company incorporated in England and Wales (company number 06805284) and headquartered at One Bell Lane, Lewes. Loopmasters was founded in 2001 as a sample library company; Loopcloud launched in 2019 as the company's subscription-based cloud service for its royalty-free catalog. The platform provides access to over 4 million samples, 250,000+ MIDI files, and 7,000+ synth presets, with 4,000+ new sounds added weekly. The product ecosystem comprises the core Loopcloud desktop application, the Loopcloud Sounds and Loopcloud Sync VST/AU/AAX plugins that run inside major DAWs (Ableton Live, Apple Logic, Steinberg Cubase, FL Studio, Propellerheads Reason), and two proprietary instrument plugins — Loopcloud DRUM (a kit generator with 16 pads) and Loopcloud PLAY (a melodic instrument). Underlying technology relies on AI-powered search (Jamahook-sourced) and intelligent auto-tagging that organizes both the Loopmasters library and a user's personal sample collection in cloud storage (5–250 GB depending on tier).

Loopcloud generates revenue exclusively through subscription tiers published at $7.99/month (Artist, 100 points/month), $11.99/month (Studio, 300 points/month, flagged as 'most popular'), and $21.99/month (Professional, 600 points/month), each with annual billing discounts and proportional cloud-storage quotas. A points-based allocation system (points never expire while the subscription remains active, and rollover) is the central revenue mechanic; users spend points to download sounds, presets, and plugin expansions. The company pursues a product-led growth motion via a 14-day free trial with 100 included points and fully self-serve digital distribution globally for Mac and PC. Primary customer segments are individual music producers and DJs, with content creators and media professionals as a secondary segment; named testimonials (Friction, Marie Vaunt, MJ Cole, Chromonicci, Akira The Don, Jack Wins, Document One) are promotional endorsements rather than enterprise contracts. No institutional funding rounds, M&A activity, or public listings are disclosed.
