ComfyUI Node: KSampler With Restarts (Simple)

KSampler With Restarts (Simple):

The KRestartSamplerSimple node is designed to enhance the sampling process by incorporating restart capabilities into the KSampler. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who want to achieve more refined and controlled sampling results. By allowing the sampling process to restart under certain conditions, it helps in generating higher quality outputs and can be particularly beneficial in scenarios where the initial sampling might not yield the desired results. The main goal of this node is to provide a straightforward and efficient way to improve the sampling process without requiring deep technical knowledge, making it accessible and beneficial for users looking to enhance their AI-generated art.

KSampler With Restarts (Simple) Input Parameters:

sampler

The sampler parameter is a required input that specifies the type of sampler to be used. This parameter is crucial as it determines the underlying sampling algorithm that will be employed during the process. The sampler can be any valid SAMPLER type, and it directly impacts the quality and characteristics of the generated output. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it must be a valid sampler type recognized by the system.

chunked_mode

The chunked_mode parameter is a boolean input that controls whether the sampling process should be executed in chunks. When set to True, the sampling process is divided into smaller segments, which can help in managing memory usage and potentially improving the quality of the output by allowing finer control over the sampling steps. The default value for this parameter is True, and it can be set to False if chunked sampling is not desired. This parameter is particularly useful for handling large or complex sampling tasks.

KSampler With Restarts (Simple) Output Parameters:

SAMPLER

The output of the KRestartSamplerSimple node is a SAMPLER type. This output represents the enhanced sampler that incorporates the restart capabilities specified by the input parameters. The enhanced sampler can be used in subsequent nodes or processes to generate improved sampling results. The output is crucial for achieving higher quality and more controlled AI-generated art, as it leverages the restart functionality to refine the sampling process.

KSampler With Restarts (Simple) Usage Tips:

• To achieve the best results, ensure that the sampler parameter is set to a high-quality sampler type that suits your specific needs.
• Utilize the chunked_mode parameter to manage memory usage effectively, especially when working with large or complex sampling tasks. This can help prevent memory overflow issues and improve the overall quality of the output.

KSampler With Restarts (Simple) Common Errors and Solutions:

RestartSampler: missing restart_sampler option!

• Explanation: This error occurs when the restart_wrapped_sampler option is not provided or is invalid.
• Solution: Ensure that a valid sampler is passed to the sampler parameter. Double-check that the sampler type is correctly specified and recognized by the system.

ValueError: Invalid sampler type

• Explanation: This error indicates that the provided sampler type is not recognized or is invalid.
• Solution: Verify that the sampler parameter is set to a valid SAMPLER type. Refer to the documentation or available sampler types to ensure compatibility.

Memory overflow during sampling

• Explanation: This error can occur if the sampling process requires more memory than is available, particularly when chunked_mode is not used.
• Solution: Enable chunked_mode by setting it to True to divide the sampling process into smaller, more manageable segments. This can help reduce memory usage and prevent overflow issues.
