A Raspberry Pi 4B with Renoise installed. A very cheap way to have an almost do whatever you want small device. Obviously you still need a screen, keyboard and mouse, but those can come very cheap or free if you’re not picky. Renoise is insanely well optimized to even run on this, but it runs very smoothly as well.
Otherwise from gear, the M8 (expensive, but not for what it is under the hood with keeping it’s portability in mind). Now, SP 404 mk2 it seems, especially with the new update out.
I own and love many other devices, but wouldn’t exactly call them bang for your buck.
