pipeKSampler v1 (Legacy) Input Parameters:

pipe

This parameter represents the pipeline configuration used for the sampling process. It includes settings and models that define how the sampling should be executed. The pipe parameter is crucial as it dictates the overall behavior and output of the node.

lora_name

Specifies the name of the LoRA model to be used. LoRA models help in fine-tuning the main model with additional data, allowing for more nuanced and detailed outputs. If set to None, no LoRA model will be applied.

lora_strength

Determines the strength of the LoRA model's influence on the sampling process. A higher value means a stronger influence, which can lead to more pronounced effects from the LoRA model. Typical values range from 0.0 to 1.0.

add_noise

Controls whether noise should be added to the sampling process. Options include "enable" and "disable". Adding noise can help in generating more diverse outputs, while disabling it can lead to cleaner results.

steps

Defines the number of steps to be taken during the sampling process. More steps generally lead to higher quality images but require more computational resources. Typical values range from 10 to 1000.

cfg

The configuration parameter that adjusts the guidance scale. It influences how closely the generated image should follow the given prompt. Higher values make the output more aligned with the prompt.

sampler_name

Specifies the name of the sampler to be used. Different samplers can produce varying styles and qualities of images. Common options include "DDIM", "PLMS", etc.

scheduler

Determines the scheduling algorithm for the sampling process. The scheduler can affect the speed and quality of the output. Options may include "linear", "cosine", etc.

image_output

Controls how the output images are handled. Options include "Show", "Hide", and "Hide/Save". This parameter is useful for managing the visibility and storage of generated images.

save_prefix

A prefix to be added to the filenames of saved images. This helps in organizing and identifying the outputs, especially when generating multiple images.

file_type

Specifies the file format for saving the images. Common options include "png" and "jpg". The choice of file type can affect the quality and size of the saved images.

embed_workflow

Determines whether the embedding workflow should be applied. Embedding workflows can enhance the quality and detail of the generated images.

noise

Defines the type and amount of noise to be added. Noise can help in creating more varied and interesting outputs. The specific options for this parameter depend on the implementation.

noise_seed

An optional parameter that sets the seed for noise generation. Using a fixed seed can help in reproducing the same results across different runs.

optional_model

Allows for specifying an alternative model to be used for sampling. This can be useful for experimenting with different models without changing the main pipeline configuration.

optional_positive

Specifies additional positive embeddings to be used in the sampling process. Positive embeddings can guide the model towards desired features in the output.

optional_negative

Specifies additional negative embeddings to be used in the sampling process. Negative embeddings can help in avoiding undesired features in the output.

optional_latent

Allows for providing a precomputed latent space representation. This can speed up the sampling process and provide more control over the output.

optional_vae

Specifies an alternative VAE (Variational Autoencoder) to be used. VAEs are crucial for decoding the latent space into images.

optional_clip

Allows for specifying an alternative CLIP model. CLIP models are used for understanding and processing text prompts.

input_image_override

An optional parameter that allows for providing an input image to override the default sampling process. This can be useful for image-to-image transformations.

adv_xyPlot

Enables advanced XY plotting for visualizing the sampling process. This can help in understanding how different parameters affect the output.

upscale_method

Specifies the method to be used for upscaling the generated images. Common options include "nearest", "bilinear", etc.

upscale_model_name

The name of the model to be used for upscaling. Different models can produce varying qualities of upscaled images.

factor

Determines the scaling factor for upscaling. Typical values range from 1.0 to 4.0.

rescale

Controls whether the image should be rescaled after upscaling. This can help in maintaining the aspect ratio and quality of the output.

percent

Specifies the percentage by which the image should be scaled. This provides finer control over the scaling process.

width

Defines the width of the output image. This parameter is useful for setting the desired dimensions of the generated images.

height

Defines the height of the output image. This parameter is useful for setting the desired dimensions of the generated images.

longer_side

Specifies the length of the longer side of the output image. This can help in maintaining the aspect ratio.

crop

Controls whether the image should be cropped to fit the desired dimensions. Cropping can help in focusing on specific parts of the image.

prompt

The text prompt that guides the image generation process. The prompt is crucial for defining the content and style of the output.

extra_pnginfo

Allows for adding extra metadata to the saved PNG images. This can be useful for storing additional information about the generation process.

my_unique_id

A unique identifier for the sampling process. This helps in tracking and managing different sampling runs.

start_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should start. This can be useful for resuming interrupted runs.

end_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should end. This can help in controlling the duration and quality of the output.

return_with_leftover_noise

Controls whether the output should include leftover noise. Options include "enable" and "disable". Including leftover noise can add interesting effects to the output.
