BandHelper has a MIDI Numbering setting at the MIDI Device level with options for 0-127 or 1-128. This translates from the underlying 0-127 numbering that computer code uses to the 1-128 numbering that the user interfaces for some MIDI devices use.

As if that weren't confusing enough, I've seen some MIDI devices that number program changes from 1-128 and everything else (control changes, note numbers, etc.) from 0-127. In that case, BandHelper's numbering setting just adds to the confusion.

If you use MIDI equipment like keyboards or effects processors, how does it display the numbers for program changes, control changes, note numbers, etc.? If you use multiple devices that work different ways, you can select multiple poll responses.
