I've downloaded the latest version (which comes out as 1.1.0.1 when installed) and when starting it states:
Help VS Editor Manual and refer to 7,
If the display indicates "Unable to read/write data"
 
From what I can see, there is no way I can run this as a softsynth and requires hardware - correct?
(which case I should uninstall).
Cheers :)

that is the editor for the Roland synth that comes w/ the 700 series interface.  If you don't have the hardware, you are correct, you don't need the software.

Great - I just had to confirm this as silly as it might sound, thankyou!
