ComfyUI Node: Conditioning (Average keep magnitude)

Conditioning (Average keep magnitude):

The Conditioning (Average keep magnitude) node is designed to blend two conditioning inputs while preserving the magnitude of their vectors. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you want to combine different conditioning sources without losing the intensity or strength of the original vectors. By averaging the vectors and maintaining their magnitudes, this node ensures that the resulting conditioning retains the characteristics of both inputs, leading to more nuanced and balanced outputs. This method is beneficial for AI artists who want to merge different styles or influences in their generative models, providing a seamless way to integrate multiple conditioning sources.

Conditioning (Average keep magnitude) Input Parameters:

conditioning_to

This parameter represents the primary conditioning input that you want to modify. It is a required input of type CONDITIONING. The vectors from this input will be averaged with those from the conditioning_from input, with the strength of the averaging controlled by the conditioning_to_strength parameter.

conditioning_from

This parameter represents the secondary conditioning input that will be blended with the conditioning_to input. It is also a required input of type CONDITIONING. The vectors from this input will be averaged with those from the conditioning_to input, contributing to the final output based on the specified strength.

conditioning_to_strength

This parameter controls the strength of the conditioning_to input in the averaging process. It is a required input of type FLOAT with a default value of 0.5, a minimum value of 0, a maximum value of 1, and a step size of 0.01. A value closer to 1 gives more weight to the conditioning_to input, while a value closer to 0 gives more weight to the conditioning_from input.

Conditioning (Average keep magnitude) Output Parameters:

CONDITIONING

The output of this node is a single CONDITIONING type parameter. This output represents the blended conditioning result, where the vectors from the conditioning_to and conditioning_from inputs have been averaged while preserving their magnitudes. This ensures that the final conditioning retains the strengths and characteristics of both inputs, providing a balanced and nuanced output for further processing or generation tasks.

Conditioning (Average keep magnitude) Usage Tips:

• To achieve a balanced blend of two conditioning inputs, set the conditioning_to_strength parameter to 0.5. This will give equal weight to both inputs in the averaging process.
• If you want to emphasize the primary conditioning input, increase the conditioning_to_strength value closer to 1. Conversely, to emphasize the secondary conditioning input, decrease the value closer to 0.
• Use this node to merge different styles or influences in your generative models, ensuring that the resulting output retains the strengths of both conditioning sources.

Conditioning (Average keep magnitude) Common Errors and Solutions:

IndexError: list index out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the lengths of the conditioning_to and conditioning_from inputs do not match, causing an out-of-range access.
• Solution: Ensure that both conditioning inputs have the same length before passing them to the node.

RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (X) must match the size of tensor b (Y)

• Explanation: This error occurs when the dimensions of the vectors in the conditioning inputs do not match.
• Solution: Verify that the vectors in both conditioning inputs have compatible dimensions. Adjust the inputs to ensure they have the same shape.

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'float'

• Explanation: This error occurs when one of the conditioning inputs is not properly initialized or is missing.
• Solution: Check that both conditioning_to and conditioning_from inputs are correctly provided and are of type CONDITIONING.
