First keep reaching out to Matt - he's had his a lot longer than me.
I got mine this past summer at same time as a Montage7 - and that board has eaten up all my brain cells (fricking Yama just had to change how they do things just to change how they do things - almost wish I had just traded up to XF from XS instead- the Montage is really not meant for studio work, unless you like arcane menus and "hidden" gems and heartache, ok soap box off and - back to why I'm here [PS the Montage SOUNDS GREAT but...])
Bottom-line I haven't really spent much (almost no) time with my I7. But it's a Roland and not radically different than my Fantom XR or even XV-5080 in terms of how they do things "under the hood" - so I have no issue just "using it" for basic multi-timbral MIDI use.
Long winded way to get to here just to tell you:
check out "Roland Clans" (not really a site for shy noobs) but a lot of good info - BUT you have to dig it out (sometimes).
Also there is a guy over there, K_Take, that has written a FREE and MUCH better editor for the I7 than Roland's "late to the party for Windows 7 or 10 editor" or the one Roland has provided for the iPad from the start)
the Integra-7 sound editor site (link two up) tells you all you need to download the editor and what version of .Net Framework you need (that is a Microsoft set of "things" IT IS ALSO FREE info about .Net Framework is here (geeky stuff don't really have to know it. Besides, your PC is probably already at or above the .Net Framework needed anyway - if you've been doing all your updates.

Yea I did a mini hi-jack after Charlie gave you kudo's for helping getting his I7 going with BIAB and you responding with "still here if you need it"
in retrospect I should have PM'ed Charlie with that info

We had a studio of sorts 20 years ago as pictured but now it consists of two mics, an iMac, small KRK monitors and a USB interface...that's it -- replaced everything electronic in photo. Same room but a Bowflex occupies a lot of it along with the iMac, etc. The only real concession to the "studio" feel is the carpet...rest of the house has heart pine floors.
Thank you for the comments Guitarhacker and Charlie Fogle.
Since purchasing BIAB and a keyboard controller I spend more time than is good for me here.
The panelling on the brick walls are DIY with 40mm Isoshield ceiling boards framed and mounted. Some carpeting on the back wall to knock down some reflections and heavy drapes over the windows.
The room was originally earmarked as a laundry. It took heavy convincing and delivered promises on alterations to water and electricity supply to keep the rest of my family happy with the arrangement.
With those activities completed, the studio/work room is used for its intended purposes of creating music.
Actually started using the new studio this past weekend. (In case you don't know, this particular studio has been 3 years coming). It was fun, but collateral cleanup is needed before posting more pics than below. There's a temporary shelving unit in front of the grand piano, the yamaha drums aren't mic'd or even completed for setup yet, but the 'heart' of it all got some actual work Saturday (image below).
The bundle of cords coming out of the mixer go to the Delta 1010. After this picture we connected up 6 more ins and had 8 tracks recording as expected in Realband. A couple drum mics, keyboards, vocals, bass all going to their own tracks. <grin>
I admit it was RB 2012 or so (Barry is way behind in updates on his system) but it worked. I can always take an external drive over and run RB from that if needed, or use one of my licenses for that machine... (worst case). But anyway, we were recording 8 tracks at a time in the new studio consistently, so the 'work' to get everything set up is almost done and the fun is beginning.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Here's my setup. I start with BB, RB for solo work, export to Pro Tools, overdub and mix to JBL monitors with a pair of ROR Soundcubes as backup. I can't tell if a mix is right till I hear it in my car. Final picture shows the antique pump organ I found at a yard sale. Yes, it has been used in a song.
