As a very happy Zynthian user: YES TO THIS!

I will get a Turing Pi ASAP to play with just this.

It should be noted however that even the bare bones Zynthian system is capable of doing a LOT of voices. Plus, you don't have to go with the original Zynthian hardware - I have a small stack of devices from Audiophonics (I-SABRE RaspTouch - [1]) that all run ZynthianOS perfectly well, and it is a very nice and easy way to add polyphony/DSP power to the setup.

EDIT: to note, this is just a perfect example of how open source projects inspire innovation - the ZynthianOS is free and amazing, and the Zynthian project itself has its own hardware designed for the purpose - but it can run on other peoples Pi-based hardware as well, and there is such a wide plethora of audiophile devices out there to pick and choose from. Having the TuringPi architecture available, I can imagine its only a matter of a few months before we see exactly the system - multi-core/expander-type synth modules - appear on the market, making ZynthianOS even more powerful ..
