Reply to Question about one-shot sample triggering

Hey! I use an S2 and I'd like to use samples in one-shot mode to play a beat manually. BUT apparently, at least from my limited knowledge, this isn't exactly possible because the sample must finish playing before being triggered again. So hitting 8th notes on a snare with a long decay doesn't work because if the sample hasn't ended you can't really get it to re-trigger until it's finished. Is there any workaround or is this idea a fail? Thanks in advance!
