Inputs (13)

Name	Type	Default	Description
algorithm_type	COMBO	polynomial	DECAY ALGORITHM • Purpose: Defines the mathematical function shaping the curve. • Options: Polynomial (Linear/Quad), Sigmoidal (S-Curve), Gaussian (Bell). • Trade-offs: Non-standard shapes (Fourier) may yield unpredictable injection results. ⭐ Recommended: 'polynomial' for standard diffusion ease-in.
decay_exponent	FLOAT	2.00.1–10	DECAY EXPONENT (STEEPNESS) • Purpose: Controls the rate/curvature of the decay drop-off. • Options: 1.0 = Linear, 2.0 = Standard Quadratic. • Trade-offs: Extreme values (>5.0) cause massive steps at the very beginning. ⭐ Recommended: 2.0 for standard ease-in.
start_value	FLOAT	1.00-2–2	START VALUE • Purpose: The Y-value magnitude at the very first step (t=0). • Range: Typically 0.0 to 1.0. ⭐ Recommended: 1.0 for standard decay, 0.0 for attack envelopes.
end_value	FLOAT	0.00-2–2	END VALUE • Purpose: The Y-value magnitude at the final step (t=max). • Range: Typically 0.0 to 1.0. ⭐ Recommended: 0.0 for standard decay.
invert_curve	BOOLEAN	false	INVERT CURVE • Purpose: Flips the curve vertically (Calculates 1 - y). • Effect: Quickly turns a decay schedule into an attack schedule. ⭐ Recommended: False unless intentionally building inverse logic.
preview_steps	INT	202–1000	PREVIEW STEPS • Purpose: Resolution fidelity of the generated plot image. • Range: 2 to 1000 samples. • Trade-offs: Higher values yield smoother curves but slightly slower node execution. ⭐ Recommended: 20-50 is sufficient for visualization.
use_caching	BOOLEAN	true	USE CACHING • Purpose: Stores results in memory to avoid recalculating identical curves. • Trade-offs: Uses trace memory, but massively speeds up queue runs. ⭐ Recommended: True.
enable_temporal_smoothing	BOOLEAN	false	ENABLE SMOOTHING • Purpose: Applies a moving average filter to the final curve. • Effect: Softens sharp transitions, highly useful in 'piecewise' mode. ⭐ Recommended: False for pure mathematical curves.
smoothing_windowopt	INT	32–20	SMOOTHING WINDOW • Purpose: The rolling kernel size of the moving average filter. • Requirement: Active only if 'enable_temporal_smoothing' is True. ⭐ Recommended: 3-5 to retain general shape while blurring spikes.
custom_piecewise_pointsopt	STRING	1.0,0.5,0.0	PIECEWISE POINTS • Purpose: Manual control anchors for the curve. • Requirement: Active only if Algorithm = 'piecewise'. • Format: Comma-separated floats (e.g., '1.0, 0.8, 0.2, 0.0').
fourier_frequencyopt	FLOAT	1.00.1–10	FOURIER FREQUENCY • Purpose: Number of oscillating cycles for the algorithm. • Requirement: Active only if Algorithm = 'fourier'. ⭐ Recommended: 1.0 creates a single bell-like cosine wave.
debug_modeopt	COMBO	0 - Silent	LOGGING VERBOSITY • Purpose: Controls console output and structural profiling. • Options: 0 (Production), 1 (Analytics Report), 2 (Full trace). ⭐ Recommended: 0 - Silent.
enable_profilingopt	BOOLEAN	false	ENABLE PROFILING • Purpose: Measure generation time for performance tuning. • Note: Automatically enabled if debug_mode >= 1.
