[LAA] ANN: WebPdL2Ork

Please pardon cross-posting. I would appreciate it if you would please spread the word. Thank you. Dear all, After years of development, the Pd-L2Ork developer community is thrilled to announce immediate availability of the *WebPdL2Ork* open *BETA* that is capable of running just about any patch created using Pd-L2Ork inside a browser. Simply upload your patch to a Web-accessible location and point your browser to *http://pd-l2ork.music.vt.edu:3000?url=<URL-to-your-patch> <http://pd-l2ork.music.vt.edu:3000/?url=%3CURL-to-your-patch%3E>* All related subpatches and abstractions will be accessible as long as they are in the path. The main patch will be stretched across the browser window. Subpatches may be visible as floating windows as long as their location has been saved within the box of the original patch. Some adjustments may be necessary to the subpatch locations, or they can be even embedded as graph-on-parent-enabled subpatches on the main patch window. To test out patches already hosted on our page, please use links provided below. Select patches also have hidden shortcuts outlined below. For optimal experience, we recommend Google Chrome <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fchrome%2Fbrowser-tools%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cico%40vt.edu%7Cecdb7ff0c087499abc6d08dc98bad7b2%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638553175464634134%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=PQP5k7XuaOeGrooWEIJoN4SMqB5hgnfAMMy68kj4Yzg%3D&reserved=0> or Chromium <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chromium.org%2FHome%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cico%40vt.edu%7Cecdb7ff0c087499abc6d08dc98bad7b2%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638553175464645792%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3cQg1pqYi%2FaAizK9JotWFhrL7NdWPgJEyFsKYj3%2BgVY%3D&reserved=0> .

Once loaded, consider opening one of the included saved sessions using the top-right corner session loading option by clicking on the green "LOAD" button positioned immediately to the left of the text box. Please be patient with the loading process, as this is a CPU intensive patch (the pd-l2ork patch itself is more than 5MB). Once the session is loaded, it may take up to 10 seconds for the audio engine to catch-up before the audio dropouts stop. If dropouts do not stop, or if loading takes much longer, chances are your CPU is not fast enough to handle the patch running inside the browser (you can always explore the desktop version which is considerably less CPU intensive). Use Shift+(F1-F12) to take control of individual parts.

Everything else should work out-of-box. *To learn how to build your own HTTPS-enabled web server:* Visit the pd-l2ork github <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpd-l2ork%2Fpd-l2ork&data=05%7C02%7Cico%40vt.edu%7Cecdb7ff0c087499abc6d08dc98bad7b2%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638553175464714885%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zM2K8iC1vCvNmSa5cWGzxFevEBh8eLr6MqLcDF4HElI%3D&reserved=0> and read the emscripten/DOCUMENTATION.md file.
