I have an interesting synth here with a chromatic keyboard, the 'Chromatone', it's great to experiment with but I have yet to learn how to play anything with it that I already know how to play on the regular keyboard. Would be nice to do at least on piece and then to play around with transpositions.

When playing melodically, the biggest initial hurdle is probably learning to handle half-steps (mi-fa and ti-do) specially as compared to whole steps. Learning other intervals (leaps) can then be done similarly. Try it out with very simple melodies first and see if you can grok the right intuition.
