Very cool tool that gives me yet another reason to invest in an N8 Pro.

I'm curious: do you have any intention (or capacity) to port the companion app to VST? Not sure how feasible it would be, but the gains for digital arrangement would be astronomical! Having an in-DAW UI would be incredible and could remove the OS specific restriction. Would also open the door to other MIDI handling like multiple inputs and modulation via automation or MIDI CC.

Keep up the awesome work! Will check back here if and when I score an N8 Pro!

I have a working prototype of the companion app running as a VST, but no concrete plans to release a VST.

That being said, SynthNes does support multiple Midi inputs and a lot of parameters are exposed to Midi CC. While not as convenient as a native VST interface, a Midi loop back can be set up to pump automation from a daw to SynthNes. If you watch the app UI in this video you'll see the channel parameters respond to the CC messages from Reaper:

If you do pick up a N8 and have any questions about SynthNes, feel free to ask!
