A bit cruncher is not a established descritpion as "oscillator" or
"filter" would be.


Usually in the audio context it means a function, that converts digital
(audio) signals by non audio related, but more logical means.

Example:
A filter reduces partial tones of a signal. This is something, which
might happen also with natural musical instruments (e.g a damper on a
violins string)


A simple bit crunching for example can reduce the resolution of a
digital signal from 16 Bit to 8 bit; this has nothing to do with a
musical context and is a plain technical approach, though it hass a kind
of musical effect (adding overtonal noise to the signal).
Similar the reuction of sampling rate.


An advanced kind of bitcrunching is the exchange of bits in their
position corrsponding to a certain pattern.

Lets assume a pattern like "move each bit three positions forward round
robbing". A byte like 00010000 (which is the decimal value 16) wil
become 010000000 (which is decimal 128). But a byte like 10111101 (which
is decimal 188) is converted to 11110110 (which is decimal 246). So the
same function creates with the first value a change of 112 with the
second value a change of 58. So the result of this "crunching" is
nothing which has to do with simple natural processes which could be
described in "simple" algebra. The results do not sound like a natural
change.

In fact. most of the advanced "crunching" patterns sound with audio like
ugly distortion or noise , but in some way a controllable noise; but
applied to slower changing controlvoltages this crunching might result
in interesting CV-changes.
