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. (http://www.zenpho.co.uk/how-to-use-jack-pd-and-live.pdf)
Any thoughts on how to overcome the CPU overload, or minimize the headache of these two apps have a conversation?

On OSX, you must open the "Audio MIDI Setup" application to get MIDI in/out of PD. Once you have done that, you can use the MIDI Settings menu in PD to route MIDI in and out from/to your various devices. Haven't tried routing MIDI from PD to Live, but I imagine that if you select the built-in OSX MIDI "IAC" router as output in PD and input in Live, you'll get something working pretty quick.

hi
Im using on my home PC win and Linux version of pd and on both systems i have "multiple midi in-out" and "alsa connect" . On my job machine (mac osx pd-extended 0.38.4)i can use just one in-out - the main one from digi002. Where are this settings and can i use something like alsa connect to connect my pd with Live + all my midi controllers on osx? thanks 2 all
