Well, yeah, the basic skills would be similar, I suppose. Although a lot of great old-school synths are monophonic, so chords would be less important. I guess I'm thinking more about the way in which you'd play the thing - for synths, I'd be spending more time on lead lines and learning about oscillators/general sound manipulation, whereas for piano I'd be setting myself up to be able to play full pieces. But your approach may be different, and as I realised previously, a lot of modern synths are not just for full-scale crazy synthdom but rather operate as a general keyboard.
