Hello Bjorn,

It's a been awhile since we've seen this question posted to AN1x-list 
and I'm uncertain how many CS6x user's are currently lurking ;-)  If 
no one on this list offers help I suggest you cross post to the CS6x 
list:

There are many PLG150-AN users there who might be willing to load the 
sound bank into their CS6x w/ PLG150-AN and then convert them to .AN1 
or .ANP format using AN1xEdit or AN Expert Editor.

Good luck.

Jon
