'''Canou''' is a rank-3 temperament that tempers out the [[canousma]], 4802000/4782969 = {{monzo|4 -14 3 4}}, a 7-limit comma measuring about 6.9 cents.

The '''canou family''' of [[rank-3 temperament|rank-3]] [[regular temperament|temperament]]s [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[canousma]], 4802000/4782969 ({{monzo| 4 -14 3 4 }}), a 7-limit comma measuring about 6.9 [[cent]]s.


The temperament features a period of an octave and generators of [[3/2]] and [[81/70]]. The 81/70-generator is about 255 cents. Two of them interestingly make a [[980/729]] at about 510 cents, an audibly off perfect fourth. Three of them make a [[14/9]]; four of them make a [[9/5]]. It therefore also features splitting the septimal diesis, [[49/48]], into three equal parts, making two distinct [[interseptimal]] intervals related to the 35th harmonic.

{{Main| Canou temperament }}


Decent amount of harmonic resources are provided by a simple 9-note scale. [[Flora Canou]] commented:
The canou temperament features a [[period]] of an [[octave]] and [[generator]]s of [[3/2]] and [[81/70]]. The ~81/70-generator is about 255 cents. Three make [[14/9]]; four make [[9/5]]. It therefore splits the large septimal diesis, [[49/48]], into three equal parts, making two distinct [[interseptimal interval]]s related to the 35th harmonic.


:''— It sounds somewhat like a Phrygian scale but the abundance of small intervals of [[28/27]] makes it melodically active.''
A basic tuning option would be [[99edo]], although [[80edo]] is even simpler and distinctive. More intricate tunings are provided by [[311edo]] and [[410edo]], whereas the [[optimal patent val]] goes up to [[1131edo]], relating it to the [[amicable]] temperament.  


14- and 19-note scales are also possible. See [[canou scales]] for more information.  
[[Subgroup]]: 2.3.5.7


For tunings, a basic option would be [[80edo]]. Others such as [[94edo]], [[99edo]] and [[118edo]] are more accurate; [[19edo]] (perferably with stretched octaves) also provides a good trivial case, whereas the [[optimal patent val]] goes up to [[1131edo]], relating it to the [[Amicable|amicable temperament]].

== Undecimal canou ==
The fifth is in the range where a stack of four (i.e. a major third) can serve as ~[[19/15]] and a stack of five (i.e. a major seventh) can serve as ~[[19/10]], tempering out [[1216/1215]]. Moreover, the last generator of ~81/70 is sharpened to slightly overshoot [[22/19]], so it only makes sense to temper out their difference, [[1540/1539]]. The implied 11-limit comma is the [[symbiotic comma]], which suggests the [[wilschisma]] should also be tempered out in the 13-limit.


Semicanou adds 9801/9800, the kalisma, to the comma list, and may be described as 80 & 94 & 118. It splits the octave into two equal parts, each representing 99/70. Note that 99/70 = (81/70)×(11/9), this extension is more than natural.  
Since the syntonic comma has been split in two, it is natural to map [[19/17]] to the mean of [[9/8]] and [[10/9]], tempering out [[1445/1444]]. From a commatic point of view, notice the other 11-limit comma, [[42875/42768]], is {{nowrap| S34 × S35<sup>2</sup> }}, suggesting tempering out [[595/594]] (S34 × S35), [[1156/1155]] (S34), and [[1225/1224]] (S35), which coincides with above. Finally, we can map [[23/20]] to the fourth complement of 22/19 to make an equidistant sequence consisting of 7/6, 22/19, 23/20, and 8/7, tempering out [[760/759]]. 311edo remains an excellent tuning in all the limits.  


The other comma necessary to define it is 14641/14580, the [[semicanousma]], which is the difference between [[121/120]] and [[243/242]]. By flattening the 11th harmonic by one cent, it identifies [[20/11]] by three [[11/9]]'s stacked, so an octave can be divided into 11/9-11/9-11/9-11/10.
[[Subgroup]]: 2.3.5.7.11


Still 80edo can be used as a tuning. Other options include 94edo, 118edo, and [[104edo]] in 104c val.

Not supported by many patent vals, 80edo easily makes the optimal. Yet 104edo in 104c val and 118edo in 118f val are worth mentioning, and the temperament may be described as 80 & 104c & 118f.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The canou family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the canousma, 4802000/4782969 ([4 -14 3 4), a 7-limit comma measuring about 6.9 cents.

Canou

The canou temperament features a period of an octave and generators of 3/2 and 81/70. The ~81/70-generator is about 255 cents. Three make 14/9; four make 9/5. It therefore splits the large septimal diesis, 49/48, into three equal parts, making two distinct interseptimal intervals related to the 35th harmonic.

A basic tuning option would be 99edo, although 80edo is even simpler and distinctive. More intricate tunings are provided by 311edo and 410edo, whereas the optimal patent val goes up to 1131edo, relating it to the amicable temperament.

Undecimal canou

The fifth is in the range where a stack of four (i.e. a major third) can serve as ~19/15 and a stack of five (i.e. a major seventh) can serve as ~19/10, tempering out 1216/1215. Moreover, the last generator of ~81/70 is sharpened to slightly overshoot 22/19, so it only makes sense to temper out their difference, 1540/1539. The implied 11-limit comma is the symbiotic comma, which suggests the wilschisma should also be tempered out in the 13-limit.

Since the syntonic comma has been split in two, it is natural to map 19/17 to the mean of 9/8 and 10/9, tempering out 1445/1444. From a commatic point of view, notice the other 11-limit comma, 42875/42768, is S34 × S352, suggesting tempering out 595/594 (S34 × S35), 1156/1155 (S34), and 1225/1224 (S35), which coincides with above. Finally, we can map 23/20 to the fourth complement of 22/19 to make an equidistant sequence consisting of 7/6, 22/19, 23/20, and 8/7, tempering out 760/759. 311edo remains an excellent tuning in all the limits.

Canta

By adding 896/891, the pentacircle comma, 33/32 is equated with 28/27, so the scale is filled with this 33/32~28/27 mixture. This may be described as 75e & 80 & 99e, and 80edo makes the optimal. It has a natural extension to the 13-limit since 896/891 = (352/351)(364/363), named gentcanta in earlier materials.

Semicanou

Semicanou adds 9801/9800, the kalisma, to the comma list, and may be described as 80 & 94 & 118. It splits the octave into two equal parts, each representing 99/70~140/99. Note that 99/70 = (81/70)(11/9), this extension is more than natural.

The other comma necessary to define it is 14641/14580, the semicanousma, which is the difference between 121/120 and 243/242. By flattening the 11th harmonic by about one cent, it identifies 20/11 by three 11/9's stacked, so an octave can be divided into 11/9, 11/9, 11/9, and 11/10.

Semicanouwolf

This extension was named gentsemicanou in the earlier materials. It adds 351/350, the ratwolfsma, as wells as 364/363, the gentle comma, to the comma list. Since 351/350 = (81/70)/(15/13), the 81/70-generator simultaneously represents 15/13, adding a lot of fun to the scale.

Not supported by many patent vals, 80edo easily makes the optimal. Yet 104edo in 104c val and 118edo in 118f val are worth mentioning, and the temperament may be described as 80 & 104c & 118f.
