Not necessarily. See Band in a Box for instance.

Another thing to consider is what you actually call "music". With the
use of samplers, loopers, and computers in general, you get new forms of
music: you're able to grab pieces here and there, stick them together
and produce something that sounds nice, without having ever touched an
instrument, and all that with minimal effort.

I personally don't call that music, because to me, music is or should be
alive. This is closer to a painting, but is actually worse, for instance
because people you samples which are from music actually played by real
musicians. So this is more like a so-called painter who actually would
scan real paintings from master painters and glue pieces together (and
sell the result for big bucks).
