So with guitars, a lot of people say it's not the rig you use, but the fingers of the person playing that makes all the difference. Fair enough.
Does this idea extend to other genres/ways of making music than just rock/bands? How so? Obviously buying a certain artist's gear won't just make you sound like them, but is there a way in which electronic music allows you to more easily just emulate other people? If you got an 808 drum machine, there's only so much you can do with it without circuit-bending it, for example. And it'd be really easy for other people to replicate what you do.

Maybe read some essays about Auteur theory and music.
Electronic is more production considerations. (this drum machine or that compression).

what a weird rack. I have an erbe verb and cwejman modules, but my music sounds nothing like aphex twin.
the ways you approach electronic music, especially modular is so subjective.

I think Aphex Twin is the only person that doesn't have that one granular delay

I think electronic instruments are 100 times more versatile than the standard rock instruments, so I don't see why it wouldn't cross over. I get what you're saying, but I also think there are a million different ways to incorporate and manipulate an 808 too. Then you can sample the thing and play it back with some sort of midi drum set thing so it wouldn't be using a quantized sequence
