ComfyUI Node: LoRA Loader (Scheduled)

LoRA Loader (Scheduled):

The ScheduledLoRALoader is a specialized node designed to load and apply LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models with a scheduling mechanism. This node is particularly beneficial for users who want to dynamically adjust the influence of a LoRA model over time, allowing for more nuanced and controlled model behavior. By utilizing a scheduling system, it enables the application of different strengths of the LoRA model at various stages of the process, which can be particularly useful in scenarios where gradual changes or specific timing of effects are desired. The node supports both custom schedules and predefined presets, providing flexibility and ease of use. Its primary goal is to enhance the creative process by offering a sophisticated method to manage the application of LoRA models, thereby expanding the possibilities for AI-generated art.

LoRA Loader (Scheduled) Input Parameters:

model

The model parameter represents the base model to which the LoRA will be applied. It is crucial as it serves as the foundation upon which the LoRA modifications are built. The model should be compatible with the LoRA being loaded to ensure proper functionality.

positive

The positive parameter is used to define the positive conditioning for the model. This parameter influences how the LoRA model will enhance or modify the base model's output in a positive manner, contributing to the desired artistic effect.

negative

The negative parameter specifies the negative conditioning for the model. It helps in determining how the LoRA model will suppress or alter certain aspects of the base model's output, allowing for a more refined control over the final result.

lora_name

The lora_name parameter is the identifier for the specific LoRA file to be loaded. It is essential for locating and loading the correct LoRA model from the available resources. The name must match the file name of the LoRA model to ensure successful loading.

schedule_in

The schedule_in parameter allows users to input a custom schedule for the LoRA application. This schedule dictates how the strength of the LoRA model changes over time, providing a dynamic and customizable approach to model adaptation.

strength_schedule

The strength_schedule parameter is used to define a predefined schedule for the LoRA model's strength. If no custom schedule is provided, this parameter can be used to apply a standard schedule, ensuring consistent application of the LoRA model.

schedule_preset

The schedule_preset parameter offers a selection of predefined scheduling presets. These presets provide users with convenient options for common scheduling patterns, simplifying the process of applying a schedule without the need for custom input.

strength

The strength parameter determines the initial strength of the LoRA model when no schedule is applied. It sets the baseline influence of the LoRA model on the base model, affecting the overall impact of the adaptation.

LoRA Loader (Scheduled) Output Parameters:

model_out

The model_out parameter is the output model with the LoRA applied according to the specified schedule. It represents the final adapted model, ready for use in generating AI art with the desired modifications.

positive_out

The positive_out parameter is the result of applying the LoRA model to the positive conditioning. It reflects the enhanced or modified positive aspects of the base model, contributing to the overall artistic effect.

negative_out

The negative_out parameter is the result of applying the LoRA model to the negative conditioning. It shows the suppressed or altered negative aspects of the base model, allowing for refined control over the output.

effective_schedule

The effective_schedule parameter provides the schedule that was actually applied to the LoRA model. It is useful for verifying the schedule used and understanding the timing of the LoRA application.

schedule_inv

The schedule_inv parameter is the inverted schedule of the applied LoRA model. It offers insight into the reverse timing of the LoRA application, which can be useful for understanding the overall effect of the schedule.

LoRA Loader (Scheduled) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the lora_name matches the file name of the LoRA model to avoid loading errors.
• Utilize the schedule_in parameter for custom schedules to achieve specific timing effects in your AI art.
• Experiment with different schedule_preset options to quickly apply common scheduling patterns without custom input.
• Adjust the strength parameter to set the baseline influence of the LoRA model when no schedule is applied.

LoRA Loader (Scheduled) Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: LoRA not found: <lora_name>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified LoRA file cannot be located in the designated directory.
• Solution: Verify that the lora_name is correct and that the file exists in the expected location. Ensure there are no typos in the file name.

Error: Schedule not applied

• Explanation: This error indicates that the schedule could not be applied due to missing or incorrect schedule parameters.
• Solution: Check that the schedule_in, strength_schedule, or schedule_preset parameters are correctly set. Ensure that the schedule format is valid and supported.
