ComfyUI Node: WAVE GEN (JOV) 🌊

WAVE GEN (JOV) 🌊:

The Wave Generator node is designed to produce various waveforms such as sine, square, or sawtooth waves with customizable parameters like frequency, amplitude, phase, and offset. This node is particularly useful for creating oscillating patterns or controlling animation dynamics in your projects. It generates both continuous floating-point values and integer representations of the waves, making it versatile for different applications. Whether you are looking to add rhythmic motion to your animations or simulate periodic signals, this node provides a flexible and powerful tool to achieve your creative goals.

WAVE GEN (JOV) 🌊 Input Parameters:

WAVE

This parameter allows you to select the type of waveform you want to generate. Options include sine, square, sawtooth, and more. The default value is SIN. The choice of waveform affects the shape and characteristics of the generated signal.

FREQ

This parameter sets the frequency of the waveform, which determines how many cycles occur per unit of time. The default value is 1, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10,000,000,000,000,000. Adjusting the frequency changes the speed of the oscillations.

AMP

This parameter controls the amplitude of the waveform, which affects the height of the wave peaks. The default value is 1, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10,000,000,000,000,000. Higher amplitude values result in taller waves.

PHASE

This parameter sets the phase shift of the waveform, which offsets the wave horizontally. The default value is 0, with a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Adjusting the phase can help synchronize or desynchronize the wave with other elements.

OFFSET

This parameter adds a vertical offset to the waveform, shifting it up or down. The default value is 0, with a range from 0.0 to 1.0. This can be useful for positioning the wave within a specific range.

TIME

This parameter represents the time variable for the waveform generation. The default value is 0, with a minimum of 0 and a very fine step of 0.000001. It is used to simulate the passage of time in the wave generation process.

INVERT

This boolean parameter allows you to invert the waveform. The default value is False. When set to True, the waveform is flipped upside down, which can be useful for creating inverse patterns.

WAVE GEN (JOV) 🌊 Output Parameters:

FLOAT

This output provides the continuous floating-point values of the generated waveform. These values represent the precise amplitude of the wave at each point in time, making them suitable for detailed and smooth animations or signal processing tasks.

INT

This output provides the integer representations of the generated waveform. These values are the rounded versions of the floating-point values and can be useful for applications where discrete steps or levels are needed, such as digital signal processing or creating pixel-based animations.

WAVE GEN (JOV) 🌊 Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different waveforms and parameters to achieve unique oscillating patterns that can add dynamic motion to your animations.
• Use the OFFSET parameter to position the waveform within a specific range, which can be helpful for aligning it with other elements in your project.
• Adjust the FREQ and AMP parameters to control the speed and intensity of the oscillations, allowing you to create anything from subtle vibrations to rapid, high-energy movements.
