Does anybody on the list know a fast way of splitting the tracks to individual samples, accurately cutting at the sample start and end points, and then saving and naming them?

While not perfect, you can use Logic's strip silence function. Place your wav file in the arrange window. Perform the strip silence command and have it replace the single region in the arrange window with the new multiple regions. Then, with all of them selected, rename them with a name ending witha
number. This will cause them to be renamed and numbered sequentially (ie: kik 01, kik 02, kik 03, etc). Then with all of them still selected in the arrange window perform the command under the audio menu which converts all the selected regions to individual audio files.

It's really not as complicated as it reads. The only tricky part will involve some trial and error with the strip silence parameters in order to get clean start/end points without having to go in manually and trim each newly created region. If they are drum hits though, you may want to end up doing this
anyway since it is vital to midi trigger timing that the sample be trimmed exactly up to the beginning of the waveform.
