I haven't read up on vkeybd yet, sorry, but in my understanding of MIDI, you will indeed need a synth device, of some sort. You'll prolly just want to run a software synth in parallel; I kinda thought that running those midi modules gave you that but honestly haven't played with midi at all. Try to play back some midi files (.mid's) through another program; if vkeybd is just acting as a midi input, it wouldn't have sound-generating capabilities, just signal-generating ones (like key-down, key-up, pitch bend up, etc). Keep up informed of your progress, and good luck,
