Trevor, the caps_start and caps_stop strings are not just pitch values; they are actual strings that are sent to the synthesizer. The defaults are commands that change the pitch, but they could be anything a user wants them to be. What I have found looking over documentation is that relative pitches are not supported. So, we can't tell the dectalk to raise or lower its pitch by a certain amount, we are telling it to set its pitch to a certain value. I guess what I'm wondering is, since pitch shifting isn't supported by the dectalks, I'm not sure that messing with the pitch for caps indication as the default is a good idea. What do you think?
