ComfyUI Node: SonarScheduledNoise

SonarScheduledNoise:

The SonarScheduledNoise node is designed to generate noise that evolves over a specified range of percentages, providing a smooth transition from one noise state to another. This node is particularly useful for creating dynamic and evolving noise patterns that can be used in various AI art applications. By allowing you to specify the start and end percentages, the node ensures that the noise changes gradually, creating a more natural and visually appealing effect. Additionally, the node offers normalization options to control the intensity and distribution of the noise, ensuring that the output meets your specific requirements. The ability to use fallback noise further enhances the robustness of this node, making it a versatile tool for generating complex noise patterns.

SonarScheduledNoise Input Parameters:

model

This parameter specifies the model to be used for generating the noise. It is a required input and ensures that the noise generation process is aligned with the specific characteristics of the chosen model.

sonar_custom_noise

This parameter defines the custom noise to be used as the primary noise source. It is a required input and plays a crucial role in determining the initial noise characteristics.

start_percent

This parameter sets the starting point of the noise transition as a percentage. It ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with a default value of 0.0. A lower value means the noise transition starts earlier, affecting the initial noise state.

end_percent

This parameter sets the ending point of the noise transition as a percentage. It ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with a default value of 1.0. A higher value means the noise transition ends later, affecting the final noise state.

normalize

This parameter controls the normalization of the noise. It offers three options: "default", "forced", and "disabled". Normalization ensures that the noise intensity is consistent and within the desired range.

fallback_sonar_custom_noise

This optional parameter specifies an alternative custom noise to be used if the primary noise source fails. It enhances the robustness of the node by providing a fallback option.

SonarScheduledNoise Output Parameters:

noise_output

The primary output of the SonarScheduledNoise node is the generated noise pattern that evolves over the specified range of percentages. This output can be used in various AI art applications to create dynamic and visually appealing effects.

SonarScheduledNoise Usage Tips:

• To create a smooth transition in noise patterns, set the start_percent and end_percent parameters to values that define the desired range of evolution.
• Use the normalize parameter to control the intensity and distribution of the noise, ensuring that the output meets your specific requirements.
• Utilize the fallback_sonar_custom_noise parameter to provide an alternative noise source, enhancing the robustness of the node.

SonarScheduledNoise Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid start_percent or end_percent value"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the start_percent or end_percent values are outside the allowed range of 0.0 to 1.0.
• Solution: Ensure that both start_percent and end_percent values are within the range of 0.0 to 1.0.

"Model not specified"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the model parameter is not provided.
• Solution: Make sure to specify a valid model in the model parameter.

"Primary noise source failed, using fallback noise"

• Explanation: This warning indicates that the primary noise source failed, and the fallback noise is being used.
• Solution: Check the sonar_custom_noise parameter for any issues and ensure that the fallback_sonar_custom_noise parameter is correctly set.
