How to start with house/electro music on Sonar?

[Pykon]

Hi to @ll the Sonarists!

I'm quite familiar with Sonar 7 pro in makin' music based on real sounds/instruments, but I'd like to try a different genre.
The problem is that I don't have a a clue how to do it, which instruments to use, to achieve a typical house/electronica groove & timbre.
Does Sonar itself have built-in synthesizers, or should I use some ready-to-mix samples? And how to do it?
Or some looping feature, which I have never used either?

PS. I'll have to start with midi keyboard - and here I need huge help. Will Sonar play any sounds/samples with the keyboard plugged in, or it needs a dedicated software to play notes?

PS. II As a guitar-player I'm also new to any keyboard, so I need to learn how to play it at all - online course needed :-)

Guide me Folks!
