Martin Eastwood Audio has ported Muxer’s InstantSampler to Windows PC.

From Muxer’s website:

The plugin could be named “audio copy-paster” or “snippet looper”, but I choose to call it InstantSampler because it does what a simple ‘normal’ sampler does (playing audio fragments by MIDI notes), but it takes its samples (instantly) from the audio input whenever you hit a specific MIDI note for the first time. Every consecutive time you hit the same MIDI-note, it plays back the recorded fragment (or shorter, depending on the note’s length).

Features

• velocity - Playback volume.
• attack and release - Both attack & release times are configurable.
• floor - The level of the input audio which is passed along unaffected when no samples are played.
• playback speed - Speed up or - down the sample playback using the pitchbend control with a configurable range.
• reverse playback - Playback in reverse.
• looped scrolling - You can scroll through the sample while playing little loops using the modulation wheel.
• loop size - Sets the size of the loops which are played when using the modulation wheel.
• loop fade length - Sets the fade-in and -out lengths of the loops which are played when using the modulation wheel.
• clear memory - Assign a MIDI note that (when played) just clears all samples recorded so far.
