Per the Integra 7, no sound modules have real time controls. They're designed to be controlled from connected keyboards or DAWs.
I have the Integra-7, and I find its interface extremely easy to use without an external iPad (since I don't have one) or a PC editor (which is supposed to be coming out any year now).
You CAN control real-time settings using SYS EX and CC does from keyboards. I've managed to activate some of the "performance variations" by programming the pitch wheel of my Kurzweil PC3 to send the designated CC message. I've also heard that the drawbars on the tone organ can be controlled in real time as well--someone apparently got it work sending Sysex messages. I haven't tried this by assigning Integra drawbar CC's to the PC3 sliders, but I might try this next.
