My journey with synths went something like this:
Want a synth > researched > bought a KS > stumped > seek knowledge about what synthesis actually is > understood what all the knobs were supposed to control > experimented with how the controls interact > create own sounds with a purpose > bought a deeper version of the ks (Supernova2) > applied knowledge gained previously > wanted to start midi sequencing > wanted to sequence multitimbraly > stumped > learnt about sequencers > bought a sequencer capable of multi seq > stumped > f~*ck it > twiddling again on the KS > enjoying synths again
Notice at no point in there is there any reference to 'playing piano'. I'm just as clueless now about keyboard playing as ever but you know what? I learnt an awful lot about synths from that ks. It's a brilliant thing to learn about and play around with, you'll enjoy the experience.

a great "first synth" is the Roland Gaia..
it sounds great, is pretty capable, and was actually designed to be [according to the manual] a synth for first timers..
one of my boys has one... I think it sounds great..
