Not a kit though - Cost around £35 UK
You could always take it apart and circuit bend it :-)
I bought one but for the filter and aux input. The reason I'd like circuit bend it is to try and get rid of the incredible amount of noise once a plug is in the input socket. That makes it totaly unusable as a filter. :-( Somehow I suspect Korg to have designed the toy like that so people do not have a seriously usable analog Korg filter for a toy price.

If one is willing to spend a bit more (ca. $200) and do some soldering, the Shruti 1 synth is not a toy but a great and full blown analog filter monosynth with a terrific sound quality and lots of parameters and wavetables. Plus MIDI and an editor for PC.
The more I hang around at KVR the less music I make.
