Simple stretching & squashing could at least offer 19-tone equal
temperament, which is very musical. I was hoping to be able to do more
off-beat tunings, though; non-equal. I'm just surprised that isn't a
standard feature (I guess I shouldn't be, now that I think about it!).

It depends on what you mean by "other-than-equal tempered
tuning". The
Expressionist has a scaling control that can certainly
squish and stretch
an octave, just like the scale knob on Moog 952 keyboard,
but it wouldn't
be something very musically useful, at least to me ;)
