Loomer is out of business: developer of Aspect 2 synth, Sequent 2 multi-FX, and more - November 8, 2025

According to the latest info, UK-based developer Loomer, creator of the Aspect 2 Synthesizer or Sequent 2 multi-FX, is out of business.

The plugin market is very dynamic. There’s a constant coming and going of players. New plugin developers arrive, while others disappear, often quietly.

Now the latter has happened again. The UK-based plugin developer Loomer (Loomer.co.uk), which has been on the market for over 15 years, has apparently shut down its business.



Loomer Out Of Business
The first users noticed this at the end of September when they visited the website and tried to contact Colin, the company head and developer. Both attempts failed. Today, if you visit the official website Loomer.co.uk, you’ll find a message from an unpaid hosting service provider.

This is likely a final sign that Loomer has now definitively ceased operations. There has been no official announcement. Since Loomer generally had no social media presence or made advertising, the closure has been very quiet.

The possible motives (personal or financial) are also unknown at this time. I think it’s economic, as the plugin market has declined over the last 1-2 years. People have limited financial resources, but developers still need to make a living.



Colin has been very active in updating his plugins over the past few years. In 2024, I reported on the major free update for his semi-modular Synthesizer Aspect 2.

There was also a big free 2.0 update for its Sequent sequencing multi-FX plugin in 2023. Also, his String ensemble string Synthesizer plugin was updated back in 2021.

It’s a real shame to see another company go out of business. I hope Colin von Loomer can manage to reboot the whole thing in the future.

It’s unfortunate that existing users no longer have access to their installers. The Wayback Machine can preserve some files, but not all.

In my opinion, the Loomer plugins have often flown under the radar of many music producers, despite being of high quality. There were some real gems among them. Thank you for all the plugins you’ve created. I still hold onto the hope that the company will make a comeback.

All types of business are starting to collapse, the economic situation is quite precarious.
