MOTM

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.
