Default MIDI Program Change offset

Hi all,

long time, no posting.

I have what could be a very basic issue but after searching the DUC and the internet I haven't found a solution.
I'm changing presets on my Lexicon MPX-1 via MIDI program change from Pro Tools.
Problem is, if I set a pgm change 1 in Pro Tools the Lexicon loads pgm 2, and so on.
So I guess there's the old 0-127 to 1-128 mismatch going on.
In the Lexicon I can only increment the offset, so, is there a way to switch to 0-127, and have the pgm changes match?
I thrashed preferences as suggested in another thread, but no luck.
I'm on Ultimate 2020 on Mojave.
Thanx

I know you want like my answer, but it is worth considering. Drop the Lexicon and go with plugins(even Lexicon plugins). Using a phenomenal piece of hardware can make sense, but you're not talking about a 480L here. There are dozens of plugins that will match the MPX-1, and solve this issue in the process.
Here are some of the advantages:
1-total recall for every session, every time
2-easy to automate program or parameter changes
3-easy to switch complete reverb/effect plugins with automated bypass.
4-you can use 10 reverbs at once(10, 39, 100)

Using hardware is very often more trouble than its really worth. I ran a commercial studio in Nashville for many years and spent several thousand dollars on outboard compressors and EQ's, a full tt patchbay and all the cable and IO to make it work. Once I got done testing to make sure all of it functioned perfectly, I spent the next 2 years mixing commercial releases and used that setup precisely...........zero times Why, everything mentioned above. Now all that hardware absolutely got used during recording, but for mixing, it just didn't make sense(to me). Firm believer in working smarter, not harder

There's a .midnam patch list definition file for the MPX-1 in PT. Have you defined the MPX-1 in your MIDI Studio on PC or AMS on a Mac?
