The code that handles pitch change for upper/lower case letters is common to all synthesizers. I imagine that if you tested several examples you would find that your results are not consistent. There is a known bug which sometimes causes characters or parts of a synthesizer command to be dropped into the bit bucket. Whenever you press a key speakup sends a command to the synth to go silent. Every synth reacts a bit differently to this command in so far as how long one should wait before sending more characters. What's needed is a method of waiting x amount of time, on a synth by synth basis, before sending more data to the synth. No solution has yet been offered, but I know it will be fixed someday.
