Electronic music icon Korg makes music with Raspberry Pi
There's a bunch of people doing some pretty amazing synth builds with the Raspberry Pi -- the Zynthian crew [0] springs to mind.
Basically bring your own USB midi keyboard / controller - these tend to be cheap, but also engender very strong opinions, so there's some distinct advantages to having them as separate components, but with the synth box being much more portable than a laptop or desktop.
As to the Korg Wavestate - on this side of the pond (AU) it has an RRP of A$1500, though street pricing is around A$1000.

Help starting out a DIY synth guitar project
Another option might be to get a Raspberry Pi and a USB audio interface to run Zynthian. Zynthian can be built from scratch with a TV, mouse and keyboard. You will need the USB audio for a line input from your amp. Heaps of DIY learning building your own Zynthian. You can scale up to the full hardware kit if you like what you see.

Can OP-1 Field use a USB hub to act as MIDI host for multiple devices?
I suggest something Raspberry Pi based, Zynthian for example. It's the total opposite in this regard, allowing so much freedom and possibilities that it can get overwhelming.

Spare RaspberryPi 4b with Touchscreen, any ideas for integrating into setup?
There are several great RPi synth projects around, including mt32-pi, mini-dexed and samplerbox, but they're all intended for headless use (or with a tiny embedded display). The outlier in that respect AFAIK is Zynthian: https://zynthian.org/

Ardour 7.0 has been released
Exactly opposite situation in my case - my Ubuntu Studio rig has been rock solid for tracking and many projects .. but the good news is that even if, for whatever reason, you can't qite grok things to be as productive as a pro Ubuntu Studio user (hint: you can) we have all the good things happening in ZynthianOS to explore, anyway - and this just wraps up the same essential goodies into a hardware device that is push-button-user friendly:

And of course there are bleeding edge lessons learned, applied in things like monome, etc.

Piano sound module for midi controller?
Zynthian is a good option but a bit hard to get your hands on in the silicon supply chain crisis.
- Raspberry Pi in synths?
-
Any good portable synths?
Zynthian is a good one to add to this list.
- Supply chain issues are killing synth companies

Would an MPC Live 2 be helpful for me?
You might get some more traction by integrating a Raspberry Pi in a eurorack adapter (or RPi Pico) with some sort of CV interface and leveraging an open source project like Zynthian.

How to start?
I LOVE my Vortex 2. Seriously, go that way. Play with Ableton, do the daw thing, or get any cheaper used polyphonic desktop synth like the Modal Skulpt (terrible build quality and support, but a great synth) a Korg Volca, or (if you're feeling frisky and already have a Raspberry Pi) check out the MiniDEXED project on GitHub for a real treat! You can totally go monophonic instead, but I think the keytar lends itself more to polyphony. Also, the Vortex is highly flexible and programmable, so if you want to, say, have one synth for bass, another for lead, and maybe even have a little drum machine hooked up, you could still play all that at the same time.
