I'm of the opinion that classical composers could have made much better music than they did if they had modern equipment to work with.
Suppose Mozart had modern technology at his disposal he could have created recordings which sounded exactly like the music in his head, rather than him having to relay his 'musical thoughts' to an orchestra.

1) over half of the artists in electronica have no formal musical training.

Training can only improve technique. If a person has a musical idea in their head it doesn't matter how they turn it into a sound. Musical theory is useful if you want to pass a test, earn a degree... become a musical theory teacher.

2) Electronica is often derivitive.

It's derived from birdsong.
My best advice to the original poster is to read and understand the instruction manuals and experiment until you break something.
