You probably speak about the but cruncher mode ?
It works in a linear way, i.e. the CV (generated by the manual control or
external CV) is proportional to the number of bits. The change in the
resulting sound becomes more dramatic for smaller values, i.e. the step from
8 bit to 7 bit is much less audible than from 4 to 3 bit or 3 to 2 bit. But
for other modes (e.g. the bit shifting/rotating) all steps have the same
amount of effect. After all it depends upon the selected mode and the
calculations for this mode how the CV affects the sound.

As Christian Assall is the man behind the A-189-1 firmware I ask you to
contact him directly for suggestions concerning software
changes/improvements (software@doepfer.de).

Best wishes
