ComfyUI Node: KfSinusoidalGetPhase

KfSinusoidalGetPhase:

The KfSinusoidalGetPhase node is designed to extract the phase value from a given sinusoidal curve. This node is particularly useful when you need to analyze or manipulate the phase component of a sinusoidal waveform within your AI art projects. By isolating the phase, you can gain insights into the timing and positional aspects of the waveform, which can be crucial for creating synchronized animations or effects. The node simplifies the process of retrieving this specific attribute, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your work without delving into complex mathematical computations.

KfSinusoidalGetPhase Input Parameters:

curve

The curve parameter expects a sinusoidal curve input, which is a waveform characterized by its smooth, periodic oscillations. This parameter is required and must be provided for the node to function. The sinusoidal curve should be of the type SINUSOIDAL_CURVE, and it is enforced as an input to ensure the node operates correctly. The curve encapsulates various properties of the waveform, including its wavelength, amplitude, and phase, but this node specifically focuses on extracting the phase value.

KfSinusoidalGetPhase Output Parameters:

FLOAT

The output of the KfSinusoidalGetPhase node is a single floating-point number representing the phase of the input sinusoidal curve. The phase is a crucial aspect of the waveform, indicating the horizontal shift or displacement of the wave. This value can be used to understand the starting point of the wave within its cycle, which is essential for tasks that require precise timing or synchronization.

KfSinusoidalGetPhase Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input curve is a valid SINUSOIDAL_CURVE to avoid errors and ensure accurate phase extraction.
• Use the extracted phase value to synchronize multiple sinusoidal waves or to create phase-shifted versions of the same wave for complex animations.
• Combine this node with other sinusoidal nodes to build more intricate waveforms and effects, leveraging the phase information for enhanced control.

KfSinusoidalGetPhase Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid input type for curve
