C6 is a dedicated System Exclusive (SysEx) tool designed to transmit and receive data between a computer and MIDI-capable hardware. Its primary strengths have always been its simplicity and its specific optimization for Elektron's "Turbo MIDI" protocol, which allows for much faster data transfer speeds than standard MIDI. In 2021, C6 remains relevant primarily for owners of "Legacy" Elektron machines Machinedrum (UW and non-UW) Monomachine Analog Drive
