ComfyUI Node: LatentDelay

LatentDelay:

The LatentDelay node is designed to introduce a controlled delay in the processing of latent data within your AI art generation workflow. This can be particularly useful for synchronizing operations or managing the timing of various processes in a complex pipeline. By allowing you to specify a delay time, this node ensures that subsequent operations are executed after a defined pause, providing better control over the sequence and timing of your tasks. This can help in scenarios where certain operations need to be spaced out or when you need to simulate processing delays for testing purposes.

LatentDelay Input Parameters:

latent

This parameter represents the latent data that you want to process. Latent data typically refers to the intermediate representations or features extracted by the AI model during the generation process. The latent parameter is essential as it carries the data that will be delayed before being passed on to the next node in the workflow.

delaytime

The delaytime parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the node will pause before passing the latent data to the next step. This parameter allows you to control the delay duration with a high degree of precision. The default value is 0.2 seconds, with a minimum value of 0.0 seconds and a maximum value of 1.0 second. The step size for adjusting this parameter is 0.01 seconds. Adjusting the delaytime can help you manage the timing of operations in your workflow, ensuring that processes are executed in the desired sequence.

LatentDelay Output Parameters:

latent

The output parameter latent is the same latent data that was input into the node, but it is passed on after the specified delay. This ensures that the data flow in your pipeline is paused for the defined duration before continuing, allowing for better synchronization and timing control in your AI art generation process.

LatentDelay Usage Tips:

• Use the delaytime parameter to introduce pauses between operations, which can be useful for testing and debugging complex workflows.
• Adjust the delaytime to fine-tune the synchronization of different nodes in your pipeline, ensuring that each step is executed in the correct order.

LatentDelay Common Errors and Solutions:

Delay time out of range

• Explanation: The delaytime parameter must be within the range of 0.0 to 1.0 seconds.
• Solution: Ensure that the value of delaytime is set within the allowed range. Adjust the parameter to a value between 0.0 and 1.0 seconds.

Latent data not passed correctly

• Explanation: The latent parameter must contain valid latent data for the node to function correctly.
• Solution: Verify that the input to the latent parameter is correctly formatted and contains the expected latent data. Ensure that the data is properly generated and passed from the previous node in the workflow.
