OpenTL Implementation in Tascam® MMR-8, MMP-16 and MX-2424

All 3 Tascam devices work with either 2 types of disk volume formats: FAT32 (Windows standard) or HFS+ (macOS standard). For proper Nuendo compatibility it is necessary that all MMR-8/MMP-16 run OS v5.03 and MX-2424 v3.12. Some crucial OpenTL updates only appear in these machine operating systems, and only this setup can assure reliable Nuendo exchange.

Audio file formats are volume type dependent: for FAT32 this is BWF (*.wav) and for HFS+ this is SDII. OpenTL files can only be transferred within file systems of the same format, which means that it is not possible to import an OpenTL project exported from macOS (HFS+) into a Windows system (FAT32) or vice versa, unless you use a conversion utility, such as MM-EDL.

Nuendo for Windows supports OpenTL FAT32/BWF. Nuendo for macOS supports OpenTL HFS+/SDII as well as FAT32/BWF. MMR-8, MMP-16, and MX-2424 support OpenTL projects sourcing or targeting Nuendo PC with up to 999 mono tracks.
