Elektron Musical Instruments

Just got this answer from elektron today:

Hi!

No need for conversion, the UW does it internally. We recommend to use our
C6 utility (any other standard MIDI sample dump program that works should
work fine as well though) found on the support page of the elektron
webpage.

Dump on!
