Enabling & Using Deferred Program Change
1.As you turn on the Wildfire, hold down one or both of the Program Up/Program Down buttons. Letters will scroll by on the display, spelling the word “deferred.”
2.While in PLAY mode, use the Program Up or Program Down button or the VALUE knob to
change the program number. The Wildfire will remain in the program it was in before you changed the program value. Also, the display will flash the digit that is different from the currently selected program. For example, if you are playing in program D5 and scroll up to program D7, the 7 will flash. If you scroll up to F2, both digits will flash.
3.Once the display shows the program number you desire, press the Program Up and Down buttons together or step on both footswitches to confirm the program change. The display will stop flashing and the Wildfire will switch to the new program.
4.To return to normal
You may also use the optional footswitches to change program numbers.
