I'm using Pinder's cd with VSampler 3, and I'm happy (Pinder is, imo,
the best among several alternatives). VSampler is a "soft sampler" (it
runs from a Windows PC), it reads more or less every known sample
format, including AKAI. You can download a demo here:

is available for purchase at $178.80, which is decent considering the
possibilities inherent in the software.
Good luck!
