Hi does anyone know if there are any kits for beginners like a 1vco monophonic 1u rack synth with full instructions etc thanks any replys are greatly appreciated.
Yup. PAIA makes a kit. Look it up on the interent.
Here’s some far-out DIY stuff.
(You could use some of Doepfer’s stuff to go along with the above link.)

Hmm.
The FatMan is a nice introductory synth. It will cost you under $200.

It’s got one VCO, 1 VCF, MIDI in.
However, I was thinking more along the lines of their “P9700S Package Offer” for under $475.

2 VCOs, 2 VCFs, 2 VCAs, 1 Balanced Modulator, 1 Noise source, 2 AR Envelope Generators, 1 ADSR Envelope Generator, MIDI to CV Converter, Glide Processor, CV Scale/Offset Processor, Power Supply
To me, this is much more usable.
