Hi, in order to use the DSL synth you have to install SimpleSynth software:
http://pete.yandell.com/software/simplesynth/Read%20Me.html then, from the /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup Application, choose MIDI Devices tab, and make sure that the IAC Driver is online. Start SimpleSynth and choose as MIDI Source "IAC Driver Bus 1"; start Pd and go to the Preferences->MIDI Settings menu. Here choose as output device IAC Driver: Bus 1, press Apply and OK. Now you should be able to play the Mac internal synth from Pd.
