How to play old MPC sequences on computer

My first post here, please don't crucify ...

I can't seem to find out if this is possible. Is there a way to simply play my old sequences (from MPC2000) on my computer, with no MPC hardware? I have all my old snd/prg files in a folder on my hard drive, but I don't know if any version of the software will just allow me to play the sequences back. I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I have never used MPC software on a computer - only on my old MPC.

Yes the MPC Software loads MPC2000 sequences and programs, you'll have to purchase one of the current MPCs to get a full MPC Software license, but you can download a trial version of 1.9.6 from akaipro.com and test the legacy MPC support yourself.

Thanks for the help... yes, I just installed 1.8.2 and it's working. Idk why I didn't just try it first lol. I guess I wasn't aware that I could run it in demo mode without hardware.

What is the most basic (least expensive) unit I could get that would activate the software (v1.8.2 is fine)? I don't plan to do anything new with it, I literally just want to be able to play my old sequences.
