How Do You Bitcrush a Sine Wave's Phase?

This is one of the features of 4ms Eurorack Ensemble Oscillator, and I'm hoping to understand it. Thanks!

in MSP you can do it with degrade~ pretty easily, just one way:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

if you're looking for something with more detail, you can tweak the gen~.bitcrush example, use it in between cycle~'s phase input and whatever you use to drive it
(..in a digital space, tho.. the overall/resultant sound feels it might be the same as when you put bitcrushing at the sine-wave's output, anyways(a hardware/analog module will generate and utilize bitcrushing differently.. perhaps with analog filtering before/after the bit-crushing(?), etc...)... just a thought 🤔)

hope it helps 🍻
