Very belated comment on that, but:
A synth family that does that in a very flexible fashion is everything 
E-mu based on the EIII architecture (afaik, EIII, Proteus and every 
synth or sampler after that). Here, you can assign a pitch to every MIDI 
note over the entire range of the synthesizer in several user-defined 
tunings. It also comes with several presets, some of which are not 
12/octave (e.g. 19 per octave).
Apart from that, I have to admit that I don't know which other 
synthesizers offer this - I would assume the K2600 can do it (can it, 
Kevin?), but didn't check. The Nord Modular of course can (being a 
kinda-modular), the Q as far as I remember can't but for others: 
Wavestation? Virus? FS1R? Matrix? Prophecy? But this only goes to show 
that I don't know enough about my synthesizers...
