Get him a Korg EM-1 to start with. It's simple, but the sounds are not the most flexible, etc. It definitely won't be the only thing he'll need.

OR, get him a RS7000. It's complicated in that there is so much to learn, but it's also easy to get going with. I would say RS7000 because it can be the center or something bigger later if a time comes for a keyboard. The Korg EM-1 is pretty limited, but it's fun. Both are fun actually.
