.......import sounds from a DAW into a Synth?

Hi, I have asked this before as an aside in another post, but felt it merited a thread of its own.

Having not delved into the market for new equipment for some time (my top board is a Roland xp-60!!), I have been really impressed with how the new boards are shaping up. I just wonder if technology has come far enough to do the above.

I use Reason as my DAW and love the soft synth sounds. I'm sure I once saw an ad for a synth that boasted, "Now you can play your Reason sounds from this synth". I seem to recall it was one of the Nord's.

Anyway, would love to know if this is possible.

Cheers guys.

Surely only by sample playback which is possible on Stage, Wave and Electros, or by midi control of another device.
The only other device I know of is the Receptor by Muse. For those that don't know it, it's a hardware VST host.

No. At most you could sample your daw, but it is not the same.
