What's up with these apps? You can get them for free but you have to pay for the virtual keyboard??? All I wanted to do was check out the sounds and decide if they're worth purchasing...

Doug at TheSoundTestRoom did demos for a number of these apps. I think they're great. Here's his vid for Pitea. Hope this helps!
It is worth getting just the free app and paying for the IAP for the keyboard @pichi - extremely good quality.
Hello pichi,
The intention of these apps is to let the iPad / iPhone act as a MIDI expander. MIDI functionality is not an IAP, it is always there. I added virtual keyboards rather late, and only upon user request.
The structure of the IAPs tries to address different types of users with different needs.
The main target user is an organist who wants to connect the iPad to an organ console or a mobile MIDI setup. The largest apps, Burea and Pitea, have free versions which allow to test the compatibility with MIDI keyboards and to test-drive the sound, but only with a limited note range (medium three octaves). When the organist decides to make serious usage of the app, he/she will certainly not see a problem in purchasing the full note range, because these apps transform the iPad into a replacement for a (slightly more expensive) device like http://www.classicalorganscornwall.co.uk/exp440.html or http://www.ahlbornorgans.com/eng/products/archive/archive_main_eng.htm .
The virtual keyboards are for users who only need an occasional (but high-quality) organ sound for some purpose, don't want to use MIDI gear and don't want to spend much money, or for users who would like to compose or prepare combination presets while on the road, for example. I think this is not an expensive IAP. The virtual keyboards allow to play the full note range even if you did not perform the "All Notes" IAP. By the way, in one of the next updates the virtual keyboards shall get a fullscreen mode, to allow easier playing.
If you would like to check the sounds but not purchase the internal virtual keyboards, there are following options:
Finally, there is a free app which does not have any IAPs but includes everything:
