Update: Part 1 added below. Also check out Redmatica's AutoSampler. via Mibrilane in the comments.

"MimiK™ keyboard cloning software is a simple and easy to use software. Features: 1. Can be setup to automatically sample any MIDI capable sound devices that is connected to a NeKo or MiKo. 2. Can capture different velocity layers, after-touch layers and note off sounds. 3. MimiK can sample any key range, note length, up to 96K/32bits and in stereo (or mono). 4. Creates sample files for each note sampled (WAV or OGG). 5. Options for automatically fading and chopping samples. 6. Can sample entire banks or sets of banks at a time. 7. Exports an open human readable sample library file (SFZ). Sample libraries generated by MimiK can be played back by the free SFZ player. SFZ files can be converted using third party software to most other formats."

Has some nice trigger in/out features and 2 summed voltage inputs. This is cool because it allows you to run your V/Oct into one input to track keyboard, sequencer, etc and occasionally whack the second input with an envelope generator for some scale-swept pitch modulation. Another cool thing is to run a slew generator after the 1 V/Oct and before the PSG for scale generated glissando."
