A pure-midi keyboard doesn't sound. Except for the "klack" of the keys going 
down. :-)

For the audio-part (done by the synths) it is unimportant wether the 
midi-signal is coming from a virtual keyboard in the pc, a real keyboard 
(wether or not that has an own sound generator) or a sequencer application...

Only with a midi keyboard you have more control over the volume of the signal 
if the soundfont uses the velocity to modulate the volume of the sample. So 
you might start playing softer to not overload your audio. But that is in 
fact the wrong cure for the symptoms. As Fons pointed out the volume of the 
synth or the soundcard is to high. Better fix that...

Hope that helps,

Arnold
