Overly Complicated Sampling

Experimental and mathematically unsound (but fun!) sampling for ComfyUI.

Status: In flux, may be useful but likely to change/break workflows frequently. Mainly for advanced users.

Feel free create a question in Discussions for usage help: OCS Q&A Discussion

Note for Flux users: Set cfg1_uncond_optimization: true in the model block for the main OCS Sampler as Flux does not use CFG. CFG++ and alt CFG++ features do not work with Flux.

Features

  • Many different samplers.
  • Allows scheduling samplers (i.e. run euler for steps 1-4, then switch to dpmpp_sde).
  • CFG++ support (for some samplers).
  • Native support for Restart sigmas. (Restarts do not currently work with RF models like Flux.)
  • Supports custom noise types.
  • Immiscible noise for sampling and Restart. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.12303 (note that it was designed for training not inference).
  • Allows splitting/combining steps in various ways for (potentially) more accurate sampling.
  • Supports Diffrax, torchdiffeq, torchode and torchsde solver backends. (SDE mode not recommended currently.)
  • Many tuneable parameters to play with.
  • Supports ancestral sampling (in a janky way) for rectified flow models like Flux, works for most basic samplers: does not work for SDE samplers currently.
  • Built in safe expression language that allows filtering and manipulating nearly all parameters during sampling.

Credits

I can move code around but sampling math and creating samplers is far beyond my ability. I didn't write any of the original samplers:

  • Euler, Heun++2, DPMPP SDE, DPMPP 2S, DPM++ 2m, 2m SDE and 3m SDE samplers based on ComfyUI's implementation.
  • Reversible Heun, Reversible Heun 1s, RES, Trapezoidal, Bogacki, Reversible Bogacki, RK4, RKF45, dynamic RK(4) and Euler Dancing samplers based on implementation from https://github.com/Clybius/ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers
  • TTM JVP sampler based on implementation written by Katherine Crowson (but yoinked from the Extra-Samplers repo mentioned above).
  • Distance sampler based on implementation from https://github.com/Extraltodeus/DistanceSampler
  • IPNDM, IPNDM_V and DEIS adapted from https://github.com/zju-pi/diff-sampler/blob/main/diff-solvers-main/solvers.py (I used the Comfy version as a reference).
  • Normal substep merge strategy based on implementation from https://github.com/Clybius/ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers
  • Immiscible noise processing based on implementation from https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts/pull/1395 and idea for sampling with it from https://github.com/Clybius
  • Precedence climbing (Pratt) expression parser based on implementation from https://github.com/andychu/pratt-parsing-demo

This repo wouldn't be possible without building on the work of others. Thanks!

Usage

First, a note on the basic structure:

Basic nodes example

The sampler node connects to a group node. You can chain group nodes, however only one can match per step. Checking for a match starts at the group furthest from the sampler node. So if you have Group1 -> Group2 -> Group3 -> Sampler, the groups will be tried starting from Group1. Currently matching groups is only time based.

You will then connect a substeps node to the group. These can also be chained and like groups, execution starts with the node furthest from the group. I.E.: Substeps1 -> Substeps2 -> Substeps3 -> Group will start with Substeps1.

Most of these nodes have a text parameter input (YAML format - JSON is also valid YAML so you can use that instead if you prefer) and a parameter input. The parameter input can be used to specify stuff like custom noise types.

You may use filters and expressions in the text parameter input. See:

Integration

  • ComfyUI-bleh - allows access to many more blend and scaling modes as well as some extra features.
  • ComfyUI-sonar - allows access to many more noise types as well as the Power Filter feature.
  • ComfyUi_NNLatentUpscale - allows access to the t_scale_nnlatentupscale function in expressions.

If you're going to use OCS, I strongly recommend also installing ComfyUI-bleh and ComfyUI-sonar as they increase the functionality a lot.

Nodes

OCS Sampler

The main sampler node, with an output suitable for connecting to a SamplerCustom. This node has builtin support for Restart sampling, if you are using Restart don't use the RestartSampler node.

You can connect a chain of OCS Group nodes to it and it will choose one per step (based on conditions like time).

Input Parameters

  • restart_custom_noise: Value type: SONAR_CUSTOM_NOISE. Allows specifying a custom noise type when used with Restart sampling.

OCS Group

Defines a group of substeps.

Merging

When running multiple substeps per step, the results will combined based on the merge strategy. Possible strategies (in order of least weird to most weird):

  • simple: Doesn't merge anything: only runs a single substep per step.
  • divide: Creates a linear schedule between the current sigma and the next and runs the substeps in sequence. The model is called at least once per substep.
  • supreme_avg: The model is called at least once per step (and possibly additional times for higher order samplers). Each substep shares the first model call result. The results are averaged together. Note: Since the first model call is shared and the initial input is the same for each substep, there is no point in running multiple identical substeps. Also note: This merge strategy doesn't work well with non-ancestral samplers (i.e. dpmpp_2m or any sampler with eta: 0).
  • overshoot: The model is called at least once per step. It will sample steps equal to the number of substeps, starting from the current step. Then it will restart back to the expected step.
  • lookahead: Similar to overshoot, it samples ahead based on the number of substeps. The last model prediction is used to do a Euler step to the expected step. Note: Very experimental, likely to change in the future.
  • dynamic: Allows specifying the group parameters as an expression to be evaluated. See below.

Dynamic Groups: When merge_method is set to dynamic you must specify a dynamic block in the text parameters. The dynamic block may be either a string with the expression or a list of objects with an (optional) when key and a (required) expression key. The expression should return a dictionary of parameters you can set in the node (including both keys/values from the text parameters and widgets in the node). The first matching item will be used. Example:

# Use the simple merge method when step < 3, otherwise use overshoot
dynamic:
    - when: step < 3
      expression: dict(merge_method :> 'simple)
    - expression: dict(merge_method :> 'overshoot)

# You could also write it like this:
dynamic: |
    dict(merge_method :> (step < 3 ? 'simple : 'overshoot)

Node Parameters

  • merge_method: One of the merge methods described above in the Merging section.
  • time_mode(step): One of step, step_pct, sigma. Time matching mode. Matching based on steps generally will be simplest. Matches are inclusive and steps start at 0 (so step 0 is the first step). step_pct is the percentage of total steps (1.0=100%, 0.5=50%, etc).
  • time_start(0): Match start time.
  • time_end(999): Match end time.

Example:

Group time filter example

The left side group matches steps 0, 1, 2. The right side group matches all steps. This setup will use whatever substeps are connected to the first group for the first three steps and the second group will handle the rest.

Input Parameters

OCS Substeps

Step Methods (Samplers)

In alphabetical order.

  • adapter: Wraps a normal ComfyUI SAMPLER. Attach a SAMPLER parameter to the node. Note: Samplers that do unusual stuff like try to manipulate the model won't work. ComfyUI's built-in CFG++ samplers in particular do not work here.
  • bogacki: Bogacki-Shampine sampler. Also has a reversible variant.
  • deis: See parameters: history_limit. Does not work well with ETA, I don't recommending leaving ETA at the default 1.
  • distance: See parameters: distance. Adaptive-ish/configurable step variant of Heun. Taken from: https://github.com/Extraltodeus/DistanceSampler
  • dpmpp_2m_sde: See parameters: history_limit.
  • dpmpp_2m: eta and s_noise parameters are ignored. See parameters: history_limit.
  • dpmpp_2s
  • dpmpp_3m_sde: See parameters: history_limit.
  • dpmpp_sde
  • dynamic: Advanced step method that allows using an expression to determine the sampler parameters at each substep. See below for a more detailed explanation.
  • euler_cycle: See parameters: cycle_pct.
  • euler_dancing: Pretty broken currently, will probably require increased s_noise values. See parameters: deta, leap, deta_mode.
  • euler: If samplers came in vanilla.
  • heun: Alternate Heun implementation. Supports reversible parameters. See parameters: history_limit.
  • heun_1s: Alternate Heun one step implementation. Supports reversible parameters.
  • heunpp: See parameters: max_order.
  • ipndm_v: See parameters: history_limit.
  • ipndm: See parameters: history_limit.
  • res: Refined Exponential Solver. I believe this is a variant of Heun. Generally works very well.
  • reversible_bogacki: Reversible variant of Bockacki-Shampine.
  • reversible_heun: Reversible variant of Heun.
  • reversible_heun_1s: Reversible variant of Heun 1 step. See parameters: history_limit.
  • rk4: Range-Kutta 4th order sampler.
  • rkf45: 5 model call flavor of RK.
  • rk_dynamic: Variant of RK4 that lets you set max_order (you can also set it to 0 to choose an order dynamically, doesn't seem to work so well though).
  • solver_diffrax: Uses the Diffrax solver backend. See de_* parameters below.
  • solver_torchdiffeq: Uses the torchdiffeq backend. See de_* parameters below.
  • solver_torchode: Uses the torchode backend. See de_* parameters below.
  • solver_torchsde: Uses the torchsde backend. See de_* parameters below.
  • trapezoidal:
  • trapezoidal_cycle: See parameters: cycle_pct.
  • ttm_jvp: TTM is a weird sampler. If you're using model caching you must make sure the entries TTM uses are populated first (by having it run before any other samplers that call the model multiple times). It may also not work with some other model patches and upscale methods. See parameters: alternate_phi_2_calc

deis, ipndm* do not seem to work well with ancestralness, I recommend eta: 0.25 or disable it completely.

Solver Backend Samplers:

You will need to have the relevant Python package installed in your venv to use these. TDE cannot handle batches and each batch item will be evaluated separately. Using tode may be faster for batch sizes over 1.

ode_solver types for TDE: adaptive: dopri8, dopri5, bosh3, fehlberg2, adaptive_heun, fixed step: euler, midpoint, rk4, explicit_adams, implicit_adams

ode_solver types for TODE: adaptive only: dopri5, tsit5, heun. I haven't much luck with anything other than dopri5.

Note that adaptive solvers may be very slow. Think along the lines of 20-100 model calls per substep (or in other words, the equivalent for running that many euler steps). Tolerances only apply to adaptive solvers.

Cycle Samplers (euler_cycle, trapezoidal_cycle)

Basically a different approach to ancestral sampling. First a crash course on how sampling works:

Each step has an expected noise level, with the first step generally being pure noise and the end of the last step aiming to end with no noise remaining. Let's say the image on the current step is called x, calling the model with x gives us a prediction of what the image looks like with all noise removed (denoised), however the model is not capable of just removing all the noise in a single step: its prediction will be imprecise. x - denoised leaves us with just the noise (we subtract the prediction which theoretically has no noise from the noisy sample). This is a very simplified, but the idea is basically to add the noise back into denoised, but scaled so that it matches the amount of noise expected on the next step. denoised + noise * expected_noise_at_next_step.

When doing ancestral sampling, we actually overshoot expected noise for the next step and add less than that amount back to denoised. Then we generate some of our own noise and add it, scaled so that the result matches expected_noise_at_next_step. eta controls how the scale of the overshoot.

The difference with cycle is that instead of adding noise * expected_noise_at_next_step, we instead first add noise * (expected_noise_at_next_step * (1.0 - cycle_pct)) and then we generate noise and scale it to cycle_pct and add it too. Just for example, suppose cycle_pct is 0.2: we'll add 80% of the expected noise at the next step (1.0 - 0.2 == 0.8) and then generate the remaining 20% and add it in to meet the expected amount. I don't recommend setting cycle_pct to values over 0.5, especially if using "weird" noise types.

Dynamic Step Method: When step_method is set to dynamic you must specify a dynamic block in the text parameters. The dynamic block may be either a string with the expression or a list of objects with an (optional) when key and a (required) expression key. The first matching item will be used. The expression should return a dictionary of parameters you can set in the node (including both keys/values from the text parameters and widgets in the node). Example:

# Use the rk4 merge method when step < 3, otherwise use euler
dynamic:
    - when: step < 3
      expression: dict(step_method :> 'rk4)
    - expression: dict(step_method :> 'euler)

# You could also write it like this:
dynamic: |
    dict(step_method :> (step < 3 ? 'rk4 : 'euler)

Note: You can set all sampler parameters except substeps this way. Sampling will use the substeps value from the OCS Substeps node.

Node Parameters

  • substeps(1): Number of substeps. Generally involves a model call per substep, so for example setting this to 4 would approximately quadruple sampling time.
  • step_method(euler): Method used for sampling the substeps. May include a parenthesized number (i.e. rk4 (3)) which denotes the number of extra model calls required per sample. At least one is always required. So euler requires 1 in total, rk4 requires 4 in total. RK4 is about 4 times slower than euler.

Input Parameters

  • custom_noise: Value type: SONAR_CUSTOM_NOISE. Allows specifying a custom noise type for samplers that generate noise (most of them).

OCS Param and OCS MultiParam

Allows specifying parameter inputs that can't be expressed with YAML, such as custom noise.

Node Parameters

  • key: Determines the parameter input type.

Input Parameters

  • value: Input for the actual parameter - must match the specified input type or you will get an error when you evaluate the workflow.
  • params_opt: Allows connecting another OCS Param or OCS MultiParam node to specify multiple parameters.

Text Parameters

Allows specifying extra parameters. You may use this block to rename a key, for example if your key type was custom_noise you could enter:

rename: test

in the OCS Param node and:

custom_noise: test

in the node that was connected to the params to have it use the custom noise specifically named test.

OCS MultiParam

MultiParam is the same as Param except it has multiple optional inputs like key_1, key_2, etc.

Text Parameters

Same as OCS Param (see above), however if set you should use an object with a key corresponding to the index of the param. For example, if you wanted to rename key_1 and key_2 you would do something like:

1:
    rename: test1
2:
    rename: test2

OCS SimpleRestartSchedule

Generates a restart schedule.

Node Parameters

  • start_step: 0-based first step for the restart schedule to apply.

Input Parameters

  • sigmas: Sigmas to restartify. Output from any normal schedule node.

Text Parameters

JSON or YAML schedule in list form.

- [4, -3]
- [2, -1]
- 1

Each item should be one of:

  • A pair [interval, jump] - after interval steps, make a relative jump of jump steps.
  • A single integer schedule_index: resume the schedule at the specified 0-based index.

The example above means:

  1. After 4 steps, jump back 3 steps.
  2. After 2 steps, jump back one step.
  3. Go to the second item (after 2 steps, jump back one step).

The node start_step parameter is effectively the same as [start_step, 0] as a schedule item.


OCSNoise to SONAR_CUSTOM_NOISE

Adapter that enables using OCS noise generators with nodes that accept SONAR_CUSTOM_NOISE.

Most built-in OCS nodes will accept either type currently.


OCSNoise PerlinSimple

Generates 2D or 3D Perlin noise with many tuneable parameters. Can be plugged in to samplers for ancestral or SDE sampling. For initial noise or img2img workflows, use the NoisyLatentLike node from ComfyUI-sonar (see Integration).

3D Perlin noise works by taking a slice in the depth dimension each time the noise sampler is called.

For more tuneable parameters, see the OCSNoise PerlinAdvanced node.

Note: The shape of the latent must be a multiple of lacunarity ** (octaves - 1) * res (** indicates raising something to a power). Most latent types will have one latent pixel equaling eight normal pixels - i.e. if your image is 512x512, the latent would be 64x64.

Node Parameters

  • depth: When non-zero, 3D perlin noise will be generated.
  • detail_level: Controls the detail level of the noise when break_pattern is non-zero. No effect when using 100% raw Perlin noise.
  • octaves: Generally controls the detail level of the noise. Each octave involves generating a layer of noise so there is a performance cost to increasing octaves.
  • persistence: Controls how rough the generated noise is. Lower values will result in smoother noise, higher values will look more like Gaussian noise. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • lacunarity: Lacunarity controls the frequency multiplier between successive octaves. Only has an effect when octaves is greater than one. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • res_height: Number of periods of noise to generate along an axis. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • break_pattern: Applies a function to break the Perlin pattern, making it more like normal noise. The value is the blend strength, where 1.0 indicates 100% pattern broken noise and 0.5 indicates 50% raw noise and 50% pattern broken noise. Generally should be at least 0.9 unless you want to generate colorful blobs.

OCSNoise PerlinAdvanced

Generates 2D or 3D Perlin noise with many tuneable parameters. Can be plugged in to samplers for ancestral or SDE sampling. For initial noise or img2img workflows, use the NoisyLatentLike node from ComfyUI-sonar (see Integration).

3D Perlin noise works by taking a slice in the depth dimension each time the noise sampler is called.

Note: The shape of the latent in the relevant dimension including padding must be a multiple of lacunarity ** (octaves - 1) * res. Most latent types will have one latent pixel equaling eight normal pixels - i.e. if your image is 512x512, the latent would be 64x64.

Node Parameters

  • depth: When non-zero, 3D perlin noise will be generated.
  • detail_level: Controls the detail level of the noise when break_pattern is non-zero. No effect when using 100% raw Perlin noise.
  • octaves: Generally controls the detail level of the noise. Each octave involves generating a layer of noise so there is a performance cost to increasing octaves.
  • persistence: Controls how rough the generated noise is. Lower values will result in smoother noise, higher values will look more like Gaussian noise. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • lacunarity_height: Lacunarity controls the frequency multiplier between successive octaves. Only has an effect when octaves is greater than one. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • lacunarity_width: " "
  • lacunarity_depth: " "
  • res_height: Number of periods of noise to generate along an axis. Comma-separated list, multiple items will apply to octaves in sequence.
  • res_width: " "
  • res_depth: " "
  • break_pattern: Applies a function to break the Perlin pattern, making it more like normal noise. The value is the blend strength, where 1.0 indicates 100% pattern broken noise and 0.5 indicates 50% raw noise and 50% pattern broken noise. Generally should be at least 0.9 unless you want to generate colorful blobs.
  • initial_depth: First zero-based depth index the noise generator will return. Only has an effect when depth is non-zero.
  • wrap_depth: If non-zero, instead of generating a new chunk of noise when the last slice is used will instead jump back to the specified zero-based depth index. Only has an effect when depth is non-zero. Since this is repeating the same noise, you may need to reduce s_noise in samplers especially if your depth value is low.
  • max_depth: Basically crops the depth dimension to the specified value (inclusive). Negative values start from the end, the default of -1 does no cropping. Only has an effect when depth is non-zero. The reason you might want to use this is changing depth will also effectively change the seed.
  • tileable_height: Makes the specified dimension tileable. (May or may not work correctly.)
  • tileable_width: " "
  • tileable_depth: " "
  • blend: Blending function used when generating Perlin noise. When set to values other than LERP may not work at all or may not actually generate Perlin noise. If you have ComfyUI-bleh there will be many more blending options (see Integration).
  • pattern_break_blend: Blending function used to blend pattern broken noise with raw noise. If you have ComfyUI-bleh there will be many more blending options (see Integration).
  • depth_over_channels: When disabled, each channel will have its own separate 3D noise pattern. When enabled, depth is multiplied by the number of channels and each channel is a slice of depth. Only has an effect when depth is non-zero.
  • pad_height: Pads the specified dimension by the size. Equal padding will be added on both sides and cropped out after generation.
  • pad_width: " "
  • pad_depth: " "
  • initial_amplitude: Controls the amplitude for the first octave. The amplitude gets multiplied by persistence after each octave.
  • initial_frequency_height: Controls the frequency for the first octave for the this axis. The frequency gets multiplied by lacunarity after each octave.
  • initial_frequency_width: " "
  • initial_frequency_depth: " "
  • normalize: Controls whether the output noise is normalized after generation.
  • device: Controls what device is used to generate the noise. GPU noise may be slightly faster but you will get different results on different GPUs.
