This paper deals with a method of decomposition of a nonlinear audio circuit based on so called connection currents. These currents are used to connect inner blocks of the audio circuit with regards to preserve mutual interaction between adjoined blocks. Although this approach requires usage of numerical algorithm to solve the nonlinear equations, it reduces number of nonlinear equations to be solved if the solution of inner blocks is approximated while the accuracy of simulation is comparable to numerical solution of the whole nonlinear audio circuit.
