Could anyone give me some hints as how to get your music from this level (straight midi, very little in the way of plugins etc.) up to professional production standard?

Well, first off, it really doesn't sound like your clip is 4 bars. Sounds like it's 8. Usually defined by the kick on 1 & 3 and the snare on 2 & 4....

About the production side of it...the best thing to do would be to read a book on modern production, there's a boat-load of them available. Also, magazines like computer music and future music are useful. And then just a lot of experimentation and practice...it usually takes most people a little while before their tracks start to sound polished and well-produced. That said, certain genres of music lend themselves easier to computer production processes than others, as well. It's really a hard topic to quickly answer.....
