Subject: environmental question.... sort of

Well, here's something that got me thinking.
The an1x saves patches to its internal memory, right? And there are
only 128 slots, right? ("I speaka english, i learn it froma a boook")
Now, say that you have a setup similar to mine: An1x as synth, rm1x
as sequencer, and a phrase sampler. I will most probably have to fill
up the sampler with new samples when i load a new song into the rm1x.
the sampler doesnt hold that much sample space. What about the an1x,
are the 128 slots enough, to save custom made patches? (for
a "general user") And is everything set up so i just need to load
songs from the sequencer and it will immediately pick the right
patches from the an1x? Eh I realize this question is a bit "vague",
which is because i am a beginner to MIDI, but i think my overall
question is this:
-Do people generally have to "fiddle" a lot with their equipment when
they switch between different saved songs, or can you work in an
environment where songs are just fired up and played/edited.

(i mean, i just have an an1x, but i guess some people here have whole
rooms filled with freakin synths that are all linked together...? :)
