Yes! The 490 would make a great mixer substitute, as well as being a
sine wave VCO and a great VCF. You have a nice set of modules there,
two of most. What do you not have two of? LFOs! If 'twere my choice,
I would fill out this rack with a 390 and a 490 and figure out other
ways to multiple up the patch cords.
