I've been experiencing this recently as well. I think it has a lot to do with technique. You have to hit the pad the right way, it seems you have to take your strike and back off rather quickly.

make sure you dont rest your finger tip on the pad right after hitting it. your finger bounces off and causes double trigger. lift your finger as you would a real drum.

Make sure full level is off. That might help.

This is bad work-around. What if you want a polyphonic sample on a pad? And on top of that, you'll still get 'double hits' even with a pad set to mono.

As others have said, this is just a matter of practice. I had the same problem when I first got the MPC, but after a while you get used to how to play the pads so that this doesn't happen.
