Arturia MiniBrute 2S Noir

This is my first ever synth. The Minibrute seems like a great introduction, there's so much you can do with it, and it's all very intuitive. The price is very reasonable but the build quality is high. The manual for the Minibrute is really good, as well as explaining all the functionality it also provides several worked examples, eg comparing the ADSR and AD envelopes. And there's even a brief history and explanation of analogue synthesis. The sequencer is fantastic and the ability to repurpose 2 of the 4 tracks from velocity and pressure to things like sound waves and per-step envelopes just adds another dimension of creativity. All in all, an incredible instrument.
