I have had much luck with this. There are a couple of things you
will need:
The first is jack, which is an audio server that can be used to route
audio data between applications. It can be found here:
www.jackosx.com
Secondly, you need a version of PD that is compiled with Jack
support. Miller's official version does not include jack support for
the Mac (at least, I don't believe it does), so I use the HCS
version, which can be found here:

OSX has a built in midi routing bus called the IAC bus (inter-
application connect) that can be used to send midi between Logic and
PD. You'll need to be careful when using this with Logic because you
can easily cause MIDI loops that will lock up your computer. I got
it working by using the channel splitter in Logic's environment setup
to allow logic to only receive midi on a few specific channels and
then not using those channels with the IAC bus. Setting up the logic
environment is the most difficult part of this whole operation
(beyond learning how to use PD, of course). If you need help with
setting up Logic, email me off list and I can be more specific.
Once I got everything setup properly, it was easy to integrate the
two. My studio these days is Logic, Pure Data, and Csound (with the
blessed csoundapi~ object).
Hope that helps.

Hola list, I'm curious as to how i should have Logic pro 7 and pd
communicating. It seems like midi yoke is the answer but it's not
available for os x. Maybe os x doesn't need a midi yoke type
program and can direct midi internally without third party apps.
(ie. use the midi setup preferences). But i really would like to
use logics soft-synths and samplers with pd. I'd also like to
route audio from logic to pd .... and i can't seem to get that
right either. Here is an patch that i'd really like to use logics
exs24 sampler with:<Sidestep Sequencer.pd>
Could some one tell me how to do this.
