Pd-L2Ork

A monolithic distribution based on the pd-extended with focus on solid/stable core, enhancements, and usability features, improved appearance, K12 education mode, Pd-L2Ork apps, and more. Pd-L2Ork (pronounced as pd-lork) was originally developed for Virginia Tech's Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork). The new cross-platform (Linux, OSX, and Windows) version 2.x, launched in the fall 2020 as a Pd variant distinct from Purr-Data (formerly referred to also as Pd-L2Ork 2.x), combines best of Pd-L2Ork 1.x and Purr-Data and adds a growing number of new features and improvements. Pd-L2Ork is maintained by Ivica Ico Bukvic.

Project Description
- Project resources
Pd-L2Ork also offers a user-friendly K12 mode (see screenshot) geared towards the use in Maker workshops targeting beginners, including elementary and high-school students. Since 2010, it has been used extensively in education, research, and production. With over dozen releases in the fall 2021 alone, the project is known for its nimble development cycle and robust, feature-rich core Pd experience. If interested in contributing to the project, consider joining the l2ork-dev mailing list (https://disis.music.vt.edu/listinfo/l2ork-dev). Pd-L2Ork also includes a growing number of advanced "apps" or a collection of patches and abstractions meant to be used as self-standing applications, including L2Ork Tweeter.
