In the EXS you can change the sample start and set the attack and  
release to zereo. I guess you have done that already and it is not  
enough.

There is a plugin called "Enveloper" in Logic. Maybe you can use a  
chain of envelopers to cut the start and end more or less drastically  
off? The parameter range isn't very large but maybe you can get what  
you want after multiple passes.
