Do you know http://zynthian.org/ ? It's almost exactly that: A RPi 3B in
a nice box, with touch-screen, MIDI and audio i/o and a few knobs.

You can get it either as pre-assmbled, as DIY kit, or a schematic and
select bits and pieces.

ZynAddSubFX, zyn-fusion really, runs on Mac and Windows (LV2 and VST).
You could link interested users to your sister-project.

Oddly enough that does not surprise me :)
Your preset collection is actually a great asset, also for zyn. The vast
majority of users would likely be happy to only use existing banks or
presets.

Very nice setup! Kudos for spreading the word and waving the linux-audio
flag at events! I do like your "Fully FOSS - no fuss" tagline.

Cheers!
