Mentioned in Step Audio's "Who We Are" page.

Over the years, Bill had been in electronica bands, and had programmed lots of MIDI gear including drum machines, sequencers, and samplers. There seemed to be a huge vacuum waiting to be filled with MIDI-controlled guitar effects. The next year or so was spent developing Molten MIDI 2, which eventually found its way onto the pedalboards of Ed O'Brien, Vernon Reid, and thousands of other players around the world. Bill's pitch-shifting sequencer was the first of many revolutionary ideas, including Tempode, CTL-Sync, Big Muff MIDI, Delaytion, and SIXY, which have since been emulated by other companies.
