Waveform City Roms

Has anyone used these ROMs with the WC?

I own the Morphine and Scale Quantizer ROMs, used in a Miniwave.

Matthew's Morphine ROM is my favorite for slow wavetable sweeps as 
the interpolation between his waveforms is quite smooth. I find 
Grant's original (or new.256) ROM more effective for wave sequencing 
or faster sweeps.

The quantizer may be overkill if you are looking to quantize simple 
semitone intervals but if you are into more unusual chord structures 
this can produces some very interesting melodies, especially when 
applied to more aleatoric voltage sources such as the Woggle Bug or 
Noise Ring.

I have not used these with a WC yet, but I have used a few of them in a
Miniwave.  Also, I've used the Waveform City ROM in a Miniwave, so I can
confirm that they are cross-compatible.  Unless I am mistaken, Vowels
isn't currently available (Matthew isn't providing them at the moment and
did not license Vowels to David Hylander, the current source).  Bosch
Gardens is a very nice collection, and the "intentionally disjoint" banks
will spit out instant glitch if you look at them funny.  Morphine is much
more subtle; great for smooth CV warping, but not as useful for joystick
stuff as the Vector 1 and Vector 2 (because Morphine isn't interpolated
"verticcally" between banks, only "horizontally" along the wave table).

The Scale Quantizer is the utter bomb, and you want one.  I would not
dedicate a whole WC to it, but I AM making a 1U frac faceplate for a "mini
mini wave" so I can get a dedicated scale quantizer ROM or two crammed
into my frac racks.

Hm.  I bet I could fit two of them behind a 300 series panel.  Hmmm. 
Anyone got a 300 series FPD file they can share?  :)
