even better, would there a way to actually use the pure data patch as somekind of VST plugin directly into reaper?
Anyone as ever worked with this?
Thank you for your help and guidance!

This "pure data" is an app that you use to create sound and it outputs to your system audio just like a web browser or media player outputs sound to your system audio right?
There's a free app you can use to send audio between different apps on your system.
Download and install Soundflower*. It works like a virtual audio device with a 16 channel bus.
Set your system audio to output to Soundflower instead of your built-in output or external audio interface with your OS utility or System Preferences audio panel.
Make an aggregate device of Soundflower + the audio interface you use for output with Reaper with your OS utility (Audio MIDI Setup in OSX or ASIO4ALL in Windows).
Select the aggregate device in Reaper Preferences/Audio/Device instead of one of the single device choices.
Assign Soundflower inputs 1 & 2 to a track, hit rec arm, set the track monitor mode to input or auto, and you have your Pure Data output on that track via Soundflower routing.
* There are a couple other virtual bus device apps available as well (Jack for one). Soundflower is what I'm familiar with and it works well. It might still be OSX only.
