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.

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
Good stuff!
I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano!
A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital.

Obsolete (or not) DAW recommendations for windows 8?

Hi, I'm new
To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

So is serum worth the money? Can someone ELI5 why I should buy it rather than use a free synth like synth one?
Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;)
