Loopcloud is a brand new, free cloud-connected application from sample experts, Loopmaster. It’s designed for browsing and managing all your Loopmasters samples, MIDI files and presets. Bring them into your DAW via drag and drop or use the accompanying Loopcloud plug-in, which plays everything back in sync with your project. The plug-in even offers a Pitch slider to let you shift samples up or down by up to an octave.

Sounds are searchable within Loopcloud by name, tempo, key and user-editable tags, and the intuitive interface lets you audition and download only the ones you need when you need them. With a single log-in, you can synchronise your library across multiple computers for organisation and tag editing.

Loopcloud will soon feature a store where you can preview and buy single sounds and presets from a library in excess of 5 millions samples — and will also come with 5GB of free cloud storage for your non-Loopmasters content, which is fully expandable through a range of subscription options.

Even if you don’t yet own any Loopmasters stuff, Loopcloud is still an attractive proposition, as it includes 1GB of free samples to get your library started, with new 500+ free samples added every month.

Matt Pelling, Director of Loopmasters says: “Everyone at Loopmasters makes music, and it’s long been our goal to unify our ever-expanding catalogue of samples and presets – currently totalling around 5 million sounds – in a bespoke app and seamlessly integrate it with the DAW itself. Loopcloud is the realisation of that goal, and we’re immensely proud of it.”
