I'm not a Mac user and thus I probably am not aware of some magic
trick, but Pd-extended development has stopped and its bugs are
unlikely to get fixed. 

I'd try with most recent Pd vanilla (0.47-1) to see if you can get MIDI
to work with your interface. If it works, install all the externals you
were using in Pd-extended through the Menu 'Help' -> 'Find externals'.
Almost all libraries you know from Pd-extended are available. It might
require some initial effort to make the switch, but your setup will be
more future-proof.
