Uhmm... Certainly not every synthesizer module (by which I presume you mean
MIDI-interfaced, keyboardless synthesizers) has this capability. None of
Kurzweil's machines have arbitrary pitch tables, for example.

The Kurzweil 150 at least allows arbitrary tuning of an octave (although the
reference key is fixated and pulled from twelve TET). But, I have a feeling
this wasn't what you meant. :D
