Hello Brett,
practically to integrate an external synth in Hauptwerk to use the advanced features of audio engine (tremulants, swell box, routing, ...) we need to reduce the synth to a sampled snapshot (mono or multi-layers) treating it as any other standard sound.
Uncomfortable but better than nothing (and the sound is immediately ready for use, no quality degradation post-processing).
The main purpose of Hauptwerk is another, however, the solutions always more credible about the sound synthesis are and will be available outside of Hauptwerk.
There is also another important factor: the synthetic sounds are much more defined and clean, although in other cases they have an unpleasant "synthetic" character.
This means that in a reverberant environment, the level of clarity will remain good and not faded.
There are of course exceptions to the sampled (dry) sounds which stand out best for their tonal character...
that theoretically could be used for a cleaner resynthesis :

Anyway thanks for the info ...
