Bitcrushing is a fairly good (modern?) method of making simple instrument more alive.. something like that

is that related to the bitshifter? or is it something completely different?

if its a viable addition to the synth you could add it (ive run out of things to complain on)
maybe try a test build with hardcoded bitcrushing that adds this somewhere reasonable along the chain

By bitcrushing I assume you mean bit reduction?!

If so, it is supported in the distortion module and in the bitshuffler module. It simply converts the signal into a representation with the specified number of bits which can make sounds sound harsh and overly digital.
