Sebastian,

In case no one has warned you, or if you haven't figured it out by 
now, be prepared for the following issues.

1. Sensory deprivation.  This will generally manifest itself in the 
form of sleeplessness, which will be a direct result of searching for 
The Perfect Patch.  Developing a taste for coffee is highly advised.

2. Deteriorated social skills.  Your new best friend is now an 
inanimate piece of electronics... at least this is what everyone 
around you thinks.  Forget personal relationships, as your new best 
friend needs your attention.  Now.

3. Financial ruin.  Purchasing new modules will soon be more 
important than eating or paying your rent/mortgage.  It doesn't 
matter how many modules you own because it simply won't be enough.  
Sell your car today.  You're going to need the money very soon (see 
#4).

4. Dissatisfaction.  You'll become painfully aware that your old 
synthesizers are limited in their capacity to satisfy your routing 
and modulation desires.  There is only one way around this problem 
(see #3).

Welcome to the world of obsession.

Regards,
Kevin
