Usage Examples

Basic Parameter Testing

1. Add a Float Range Loop node to test different CFG and shift combinations
2. Set your desired ranges (e.g., CFG: 1.0-8.0, Shift: 1.0-3.0)
3. Connect the outputs to your KSampler node
4. Run your workflow - each execution will use the next combination

Standard Sampler Testing

1. Use Sampler Loop for testing with standard KSampler nodes
2. Set your preferred loop mode (sequential, random, or ping_pong)
3. Optionally skip problematic samplers using the skip list
4. Connect the sampler output to your KSampler node

Advanced Custom Sampler Testing

1. Use Sampler Loop (Sampler Custom Advanced) for custom sampler nodes
2. This variant provides actual sampler objects instead of just names
3. Perfect for use with third-party sampling nodes that require SAMPLER type inputs
4. Maintains all the functionality of the standard version with enhanced compatibility

Comprehensive Testing

1. Use All Parameters Loop for exhaustive testing with standard nodes
2. Use All Parameters Loop (Sampler Custom Advanced) for custom sampler workflows
3. Set parameter ranges for steps (20-50), CFG (1.0-8.0), shift (1.0-3.0)
4. Optionally skip problematic samplers/schedulers using the skip lists
5. Connect all outputs to appropriate nodes in your workflow
6. Queue your workflow multiple times to cycle through all combinations

Skip Lists Format

Enter sampler or scheduler names separated by commas:

euler, dpm_2, lcm

or

karras, exponential

Node Selection Guide

When to Use Standard Nodes:

• Working with built-in ComfyUI KSampler nodes
• Standard sampling workflows
• Basic parameter testing

When to Use Advanced Nodes:

• Working with custom sampler nodes that require SAMPLER type inputs
• Third-party sampling extensions
• Advanced sampling workflows
• When you encounter sampler compatibility issues with standard nodes

Tips

• Use the reset input to start fresh testing cycles
• Monitor the console output for detailed logging of current selections
• The current_combination output is useful for file naming or logging
• Each node maintains separate counters, so you can use multiple loop nodes simultaneously
• Advanced nodes provide better compatibility with custom sampling workflows
• If standard nodes don't work with your custom samplers, try the Advanced variants

Troubleshooting

Sampler Compatibility Issues

• If you're using custom sampler nodes and getting type errors, switch to the Advanced variants
• The Advanced nodes return actual sampler objects instead of just names
• Check the console output for warnings about sampler object creation

Skip List Not Working

• Ensure sampler/scheduler names match exactly (case-sensitive)
• Check console output for warnings about invalid names
• Use comma separation without extra spaces
