Guys I am playing the keyboard, I have wave files as instrument solos, I use these files while playing the keyboard so I need a hardware player that should:

- have banks, for every WAV file there should be a bank
- when I press the button, it should play that sample immediately
- can be connected to the mixer

Which hardware should I buy? (it shouldn't be expensive)

nonsense. name one single hardware sampler without analogue audio outputs.
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

Maybe an Akai MPX8 would be enough for that.

There are many options, none is flawless unfortunatelly.

You can use a computer with sampler software - if you like computers on stage.

Second option is to use tablet with dedicated software (for example Remixlive), ipad has better apps than android tablets

Third one: use a hardware sampler - for things you described Roland Sp404MkII would be the easiest and the fastest (and has no limits on wav length, streams directly from sdcard).
