# ComfyUI DiaTest TTS Node This node pack integrates the [Nari Labs Dia](https://github.com/nari-labs/dia) text-to-speech model into ComfyUI using separate nodes for loading the model from a local file and generating audio. Dia allows generating dialogue with speaker tags (`[S1]`, `[S2]`) and non-verbal sounds (`(laughs)`, etc.). This node pack loads the model from a local `.safetensors` file onto the GPU and generates audio. It **requires a CUDA-enabled GPU**. **Note:** This version is specifically configured for the `nari-labs/Dia-1.6B` model architecture. ## Installation 1. Ensure you have a CUDA-enabled GPU and the necessary NVIDIA drivers installed. 2. Download the Dia-1.6B model weights file (`dia-1.6B.safetensors`) from Hugging Face Hub: * **Direct Download URL:** [https://huggingface.co/nari-labs/Dia-1.6B/resolve/main/dia-1.6B.safetensors](https://huggingface.co/nari-labs/Dia-1.6B/resolve/main/dia-1.6B.safetensors) 3. Place the downloaded `.safetensors` file into one of the directories ComfyUI recognizes for `diffusion_models` (e.g., `ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/`). You might want to rename it to `Dia-1.6B.safetensors` for clarity. 4. Navigate to your `ComfyUI/custom_nodes/` directory. 5. Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/BobRandomNumber/ComfyUI-DiaTest.git ``` Alternatively, download the ZIP and extract it into `custom_nodes`. 6. Install the required dependencies: * Activate ComfyUI's Python environment (e.g., `source ./venv/bin/activate`). * Navigate to the node directory: `cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-DiaTest` * Install requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt` 7. Restart ComfyUI. ## Nodes ### Dia 1.6b Loader (`DiaLoader`) Loads the Dia-1.6B TTS model from a local `.safetensors` checkpoint file located in one of your configured `diffusion_models` directories. Loads the model weights and the required DAC codec onto the GPU using the embedded Dia-1.6B configuration. **Inputs:** * `ckpt_name`: Dropdown list of found `.safetensors` files within your `diffusion_models` directories. Select the file corresponding to the Dia-1.6B model. **Outputs:** * `dia_model`: A custom `DIA_MODEL` object containing the loaded Dia model instance, ready for the `DiaGenerate` node. ### Dia TTS Generate (`DiaGenerate`) Generates audio using a pre-loaded Dia model provided by the `DiaLoader` node. Displays a progress bar during generation. **Inputs:** * `dia_model`: The `DIA_MODEL` output from the `DiaLoader` node. * `text`: The main text transcript to generate audio for. Use `[S1]`, `[S2]` for speaker turns and parentheses for non-verbals like `(laughs)`. * `max_tokens`: Maximum number of audio tokens to generate (controls length). * `cfg_scale`: Classifier-Free Guidance scale. * `temperature`: Sampling temperature. * `top_p`: Nucleus sampling probability. * `cfg_filter_top_k`: Top-K filtering applied during CFG. * `speed_factor`: Adjusts the speed of the generated audio (1.0 = original speed). * `seed`: Random seed for reproducibility. **Outputs:** * `audio`: The generated audio (`AUDIO` format: `{'waveform': tensor[B,C,T], 'sample_rate': sr}`), ready to be saved or previewed. Sample rate is 44100 Hz. ## Usage Example 1. Download `dia-1.6B.safetensors` and place it in a `diffusion_models` directory (e.g., `ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/`). 2. Add the `Dia 1.6b Loader` node from the `audio/DiaTest` category. 3. Select your Dia model file (e.g., `dia-1.6B.safetensors`) from the `ckpt_name` dropdown. 4. Add the `Dia TTS Generate` node (also from `audio/DiaTest`). 5. Connect the `dia_model` output of the Loader node to the `dia_model` input of the Generate node. 6. Enter your dialogue script into the `text` input on the Generate node. 7. Adjust generation parameters on the Generate node as needed. 8. Connect the `audio` output of the Generate node to a `SaveAudio` or `PreviewAudio` node. 9. Queue the prompt. ## Notes * This node pack **requires a CUDA-enabled GPU**. * Only the `.safetensors` weights file is required. * The first time you load a specific model with the `DiaLoader`, it loads the weights and the required DAC codec. Subsequent runs using the same loader node will use the cached model object. Switching models in the loader clears the cache. * Dependencies `descript-audio-codec`, `huggingface_hub`, and `safetensors` must be installed via `requirements.txt`.
