It supports a range of configurations, making it versatile for different artistic styles and requirements.

KSamplerAdvanced [pipe] (inspire) Input Parameters:

basic_pipe

This parameter represents the basic pipeline components required for the sampling process. It typically includes the model, clip, VAE, positive, and negative prompts. These components work together to guide the sampling process and influence the final output. The basic_pipe is essential for setting up the initial conditions for sampling.

seed

The seed parameter is a numerical value that initializes the random number generator used in the sampling process. It ensures reproducibility of results, meaning that using the same seed will produce the same output. The seed can be any integer value, and changing it will result in different variations of the generated art.

steps

This parameter defines the number of sampling steps to be performed. More steps generally lead to higher quality and more detailed images, but also increase the computation time. The minimum value is typically 1, and there is no strict maximum, but practical limits depend on available computational resources.

cfg

CFG stands for Classifier-Free Guidance, which is a technique used to steer the sampling process towards or away from certain features. The cfg parameter controls the strength of this guidance. Higher values result in stronger guidance, which can lead to more pronounced features in the generated art. The value is usually a positive float.

sampler_name

This parameter specifies the name of the sampling algorithm to be used. Different samplers can produce different artistic effects, and the choice of sampler can significantly impact the final output. Common options include "ddim", "plms", etc.

scheduler

The scheduler parameter determines the scheduling strategy for the sampling steps. It influences how the sampling process progresses over time, affecting the smoothness and coherence of the generated image. Various scheduling strategies can be used depending on the desired outcome.

latent_image

This parameter represents the initial latent image to be used as a starting point for the sampling process. It can be a pre-existing latent image or a randomly generated one. The latent_image serves as the canvas on which the sampling process iterates to produce the final artwork.

denoise

The denoise parameter controls the amount of noise reduction applied during the sampling process. Higher values result in cleaner images with less noise, but may also reduce some fine details. The value is typically a float between 0 and 1.

noise_mode

This parameter specifies the mode of noise to be added during the sampling process. Different noise modes can affect the texture and appearance of the generated art. Common options include "gaussian", "uniform", etc.

batch_seed_mode

This optional parameter determines the mode of seed variation when processing batches of images. The default value is "comfy", which ensures consistent seeding across batches. Other modes can introduce variations to produce diverse outputs.

variation_seed

This optional parameter allows for the introduction of a secondary seed to create variations in the generated art. It can be used to explore different artistic possibilities without changing the primary seed. The variation_seed is an integer value.

variation_strength

This optional parameter controls the strength of the variation introduced by the variation_seed. Higher values result in more pronounced variations. The value is typically a float between 0 and 1.

scheduler_func_opt

This optional parameter allows for the customization of the scheduling function used in the sampling process. It can be used to fine-tune the scheduling strategy for specific artistic effects.

KSamplerAdvanced [pipe] (inspire) Output Parameters:

latent

The latent parameter is the primary output of the node, representing the final latent image produced by the sampling process. This latent image can be further processed or decoded to generate the final artwork. It encapsulates the artistic features and details introduced during sampling.

vae

The vae parameter is the Variational Autoencoder used in the sampling process. It is an essential component for decoding the latent image into a visible artwork. The VAE ensures that the generated image is coherent and visually appealing.
