unfortunately that won't work in ACID. you can't use MIDI to trigger wave files loaded into the project, unless you load the wave files in a VSTi soft-sampler like Kontakt, HALion or even Gigastudio.

this might seem kind of redundant, as you'll not be able to manipulate the audio files as easily as when you open them directly in ACID, but if you really have to use your MIDI keyboard to trigger wave files that's the only way to do it. :/
