Linux-centric monolithic distribution based on pd-extended with focus on solid/stable core, enhancements, and usability features including infinite undo, gui-based iemgui object editing, accelerated visual editor, improved appearance, and more. The said distribution is used exclusively by Virginia Tech Linux Laptop Orchestra. The software has been in development since fall 2009 and is currently distributed as an independent fork of pd and pd-extended. While Pd-L2Ork is not binary compatible with pd or pd-extended, it provides most 3rd-party externals as part of its monolithic distribution. Furthermore, all externals' source is fully compatible with Pd-L2Ork and can be compiled without any alterations.

Pd-L2Ork also offers a user-friendly K12 mode (see screenshot) geared towards use in MAKEr workshops targetting elementary and high-school students. The project is known for its nimble development cycle and robust, feature-rich core pd experience. Pd-L2Ork is currently Linux-centric. If interested in contributing to porting efforts to other platforms, please contact us on the l2ork-dev mailing list.

Pd-L2Ork is appropriate for Pd newcomers and veterans alike on Linux platform.
