thanx for the info. I know about jack, but i did not try it yet on osx. I anyway needed just midi that i can write a midi track in Live and route it to Gem and play my visuals, so no audio. and i menaged it just by routing usb-midi converter to the digi002, set the soft NOT to ge midi loop and it is working :) I will check jack now.
thanx again

Yes, this works great with Pd and Live. You can also send midi from Live to Pd.

However, my experiences with using sending audio between Pd and Live
in tandem using Jack on OS X 10.4 (PPC) show that Pd runs a lot slower
than Live. I suppose the best strategy would be to run Pd with -nogui
and then have all the parameters modulated with Live's (more stable
and efficient) GUI.

I did find a nice little PDF that explains hooking the two up through
Jack, if others are interested.

Any thoughts on how to overcome the CPU overload, or minimize the
headache of these two apps have a conversation?
