I am not sure what you mean by 2 octave synths but here is a great youtube video about how to make Electro House in Live:

do you mean a 25 key midi controller?

Got a link or model number for one of these things? If we have an example of what you're referring to it may make the question easier for us to understand.

Get any midi controller that send note messages, load up a scale preset in livve and you will always be in tune.
