You can bolt one in / under / on the side, and map controls for it. The MVP is duct tape but it's possible to get a small synth & battery into the case.

I know it's not quite the same thing as you're asking for, but when you dig into the linnstrument it turns out to be very hackable.

The problem is a "small synth", like a Arturia Minibrute still feels quite large. And what should I do with it's keyboard? I use LinnStrument exactly because I'm not good at playing pinao-layout keyboard...

But maybe I didn't google the correct word for it.

Do you know what kind of synth you are looking for?

The Disting Ex [0] Eurorack module contains nice ones and supports MPE. You'd also need a PSU [1] for it.

You might want to email Roger Linn about it, he'll probably have some good advice / ideas.
