You don't control One-shots and such via a keyboard in ACID. You need to connect your keyboard's analog output to your sound cards analog input to record digital audio. Tell us what kind of sound card you have and we can help you. Where did you buy ACID Pro 5? Directly from Sony? Download? CD-ROM?

What is new for ACID Pro 5.0 is that you can drop One-Shots and Loops while ACID is playing by pressing the Y key in your computer keyboard.
