How the f*** do u get synthsizers to work!!

Ok I really want to create my own tunes now. I've been wanting to for a long time and just never got round to it. Now Ive brought a copy of Fruityloops 3 so I can start sequencing. Ive downloaded various free/demo synthsizers from the web but all I can seem to get out of them is a horrible sounding high picthed note or a low note or some stupid warpy sound. I havn't got a clue what half the buttons actually do like LFO, envolope and what difference the various waveforms on the oscillators is. But I really wanna know how to use a sythisizer cuz I don't wanna have to build my entire song around some pre-set factory made loops so it sounds as if I've just banged out some crap tune on Ejay! If anyone could help me I would appreciate it

oh yeah if anyone knows a good synth for trance that would be cool...

thats just some of the things you will need to learn if you want
to be a good synth programer.
you need to learn about wave forms, types, how they change the sound,
ADSR what are they, what does it do, filters and so on
I could tell you in my own words but think its best left to the PROS

so have a look at this site, its should get you on the right track.
