I don't know Samplitude, but Reaktor and many other soft-synths come both as stand-alone applications and as plug-ins in the same purchase.

They usually have install instructions and yes, when used within an application, they appear just like a plug-in, usually on an auxiliary input.

All you need to do is make output assignments (like bussing to a track for printing) and also route MIDI to the plug-in from an external controller.
