Thanks for the info.  I was afraid something like this might be the 
case.  I wasn't aware of the variety of Akai formats.  The S5000 .akp 
with wavs are what I have.  The samples are of vintage keyboards, 
synths, and other instruments from 
http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/index.html.  The sound very cool.  
Maybe someone with one of the converter apps can convert them and share 
the EXS instrument files...  Anyone interested?
