The Via block is a special block whose function is to stop digital feedback loops from preventing a successful Compilation. The Via block does not prevent or attenuate analog feedback loops (e.g. between a microphone and a nearby speaker), see Feedback Suppressor for that function.
If an audio signal being output from a block can eventually get back to an input of the same block, the software will not allow the signal line to be drawn because of a potential feedback loop. If there is a Via block somewhere in the signal path, the feedback loop will be allowed.
Warning |
Note that digital feedback loops can cause sudden, loud sounds that can potentially damage loudspeakers or even cause hearing loss. Via blocks should only be used if absolutely necessary, and great care should be taken to prevent the routing of audio in a feedback loop. |
The Via block cannot accept signals directly from Split Pass Through Output or Split Pass Through Input blocks, or signals that are part of a fanout.
The use of Via blocks also disables Delay Equalization for the circuit to which it is connected
