every sequencer/daw has what you need. (cubase, sonar, logic, protools, even ableton live).
get a sampler to trigger the wav files with midi, this page has some free vst samplers on it: Plug-ins / DownLoad / VSTi FreeWare Collection - Espace Cubase

or just go and download the free sampletank version.
Well, a disadvantage with using those VSTi samplers is that they appear to be built to handle a bunch of samples, so that it's basically a drum machine. The disadvantage of this is that you can't adjust the effects on each drum (snare, kick, tom etc) independently. Any effects applied will be applied to the whole kit. Using one VSTi drum machine per channel to control one drum sample per channel so that I can independently set the effects on each drum in the final mix is kinda overkill. That's why I'm really looking for a wav sequencer that does what Tunafish does: just trigger a wav file with no need to do it via a VSTi.

On the sampletank page it appears the only free thing available is the Sampletank 2 demo.

Does Cubase (for example) have a sequencer that can simply trigger a wav file? You'd think with a reputation like that, it could do something like this.
