Mike,
What you need is called a Sampler. I'm not sure that anyone is making 
hardware samplers any more, but a quick look on Ebay showed up samplers 
such as Roland S-760 or Akai Z4, S01, S2000 or S6000; all at very 
reasonable prices. You'll find hardware samplers to be slow to load, and 
difficult to learn, but if you are only wanting to run one sound-set it 
may not be a problem. I guess that your 85 .wav files are large files, 
so the main thing to watch will be the amount of memory available, as 
older models didn't have much!


Probably the most famous commercial software application is called 
GigaSampler, but it is in limbo at the moment, between companies.

To go the cheap or free software route, search for "soundfont player" or 
"virtual sampler", plus you will need a midi interface for your 
computer. Some software is made to stand alone, some will be called VSTi 
plugins; they're OK too, VSTi are just made to work in conjunction with 
other programs. I have set-up some of this myself before, but it's been 
a while. I want to get it happening again, so if I discover/remember 
more details, I shall post an update.
