v1.3.0 - Custom Pause Tags

[Enemyx-net]

🎙️ Custom Pause Tags

• Speech Pacing Control: Added support for inserting pauses in generated speech
• Default Pause: Use [pause] for a 1-second silence
• Custom Duration: Use [pause:ms] for specific durations (e.g., [pause:2000] for 2 seconds)
• Universal Support: Works with both Single Speaker and Multiple Speakers nodes

✨ What's New

Pause Tag Syntax

• [pause]: Inserts a 1-second silence
• [pause:500]: Inserts 500ms (0.5 second) silence
• [pause:2000]: Inserts 2-second silence
• [pause:3500]: Inserts 3.5-second silence

How It Works

• The wrapper parses your text to find pause tags
• Text segments between pauses are processed independently
• Silence audio is generated for each pause duration
• All audio segments (speech and silence) are concatenated

💡 Use Cases

Perfect for:

• 📖 Dramatic Reading: Add pauses for emphasis
• 🎭 Dialogue: Natural conversation pacing
• 📚 Lists & Instructions: Clear separation between items
• 🎙️ Podcasts/Narration: Professional pacing control
• 📝 Poetry: Preserve verse structure and rhythm

📝 Example Usage

Welcome to our presentation. [pause] Today we'll discuss three main topics. [pause] First, the introduction. [pause:500] Second, the main content. [pause:500] And finally, our conclusions.

🔧 Technical Details

• Note: This is a wrapper feature, not part of Microsoft's VibeVoice
• Note: The pause forces the text to be split into chunks. This may worsen the model's ability to understand the context. The model's context is represented ONLY by its own chunk.

💾 Installation

Install via ComfyUI Manager or manually:

git clone https://github.com/Enemyx-net/VibeVoice-ComfyUI
