MainStage will not Change Patches via Program Change

This seems so silly but I just cannot get it to work...

 

I'm just learning MainStage but am a long-time Logic user so I've intentionally kept the Concert setup simple. I have 2 patches set up inside a set and assigned each a unique program change number. (In the patch explorer, the program change check box is selected, the bank set is not, and each patch has a unique number. I have tried this with and without the bank select box checked. It makes no difference) My concert is set up to receive program changes from ALL, channels 1-16. I am sending the program change from an Akai MPK249. When I send the program change, the midi monitor displays "# 1 0 2," (I don't know what the 0 is... could this be the problem?) and in the assignments and mapping screen I show midi activity on a row under "Channel 1-16" with columns reading "Unassigned, (blank), Concert Name->All Channel Strips." I have not checked the box that says "Send Unused Program Changes to Channel Strips."

 

This seems like such a basic function, I cannot imagine what I am doing wrong. Surely every program change command doesn't need to be mapped to a graphical button? (That's the only thing I can think I haven't tried but it must be right in front of my face!)

 

Thanks!
