I actually had the same problem, And couldn't find a work around in pd.
What I ended up doing is having the 16 buttons send notes I normally don't use (note #s 111 to 127) and setting up a small abstraction that converts the note on and note off for these guys to just a labeled on and off value. I just needed them to trigger things, so the whole toggle bit I never really dealt with.

I have a feeling this question is more general than specific to a piece of hardware, so here goes... I've checked all the peavey documentation... Is there a certain way that PD recognizes MIDI/HEX data, so that I could have each button toggle between, say, 0 and 1, and thusly trigger a toggle button?
I hope I explained that properly?! ;)
