OMF Abbreviation for Open Media Framework, also known as OMFI—Open Media
Framework Interchange. This file format, typically used for data exchange with
Digidesign ProTools software, can be imported and exported by Logic. The OMF file
format only supports the exchange of audio data (audio media and the usage of this
audio media in a song). MIDI and automation data will simply be ignored when using
Logic’s export function.

exchange with Tascam hard disk recorders, such as the MX 2424, can be imported and

ignored when using Logic’s export function.
