The '''canou family''' of rank-3 temperaments 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 canou 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 [[980/729]] at about 510 cents, an audibly off perfect fourth. Three make [[14/9]]; four make [[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.  
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.  


For tunings, a basic option would be [[99edo]]. Others such as [[80edo]], [[94edo]], and [[118edo]] are possible; [[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]] temperament.  
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.

=== Extensions ===
== Undecimal canou ==
Canou has a neat extension to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup with virtually no additional errors. The [[comma basis]] is {1216/1215, 1225/1224, 1445/1444}. Otherwise, 11- and 13-limit extensions are somewhat less ideal.
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.  


== Synca ==
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.  
Synca, for symbiotic canou, adds the [[symbiotic comma]] and the [[wilschisma]] to the comma list.

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.  
Optimal tunings:
* CTE: ~2 = 1200.0000, ~3/2 = 702.2361, ~22/19 = 254.6222
* CWE: ~2 = 1200.0000, ~3/2 = 702.2359, ~22/19 = 254.6223


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.
{{Optimal ET sequence|legend=0| 94, 193f, 212gh, 217, 311 }}


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

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.

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.

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

Main article: Canou temperament

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.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7

Comma list: 4802000/4782969

Mapping: [⟨1 0 0 -1], ⟨0 1 2 2], ⟨0 0 -4 3]]

mapping generators: ~2, ~3, ~81/70

Lattice basis:

3/2 length = 0.8110, 81/70 length = 0.5135
Angle (3/2, 81/70) = 73.88 deg

Optimal tunings:

  • CTE: ~2 = 1200.0000, ~3/2 = 702.3175, ~81/70 = 254.6220
error map: ⟨0.0000 +0.3625 -0.1667 -0.3249]
  • CWE: ~2 = 1200.0000, ~3/2 = 702.3455, ~81/70 = 254.6237
error map: ⟨0.0000 +0.3904 -0.1175 -0.2640]

Minimax tuning:

unchanged-interval (eigenmonzo) basis: 2.5.7
  • 9-odd-limit: 3 just, 5 and 7 -c/7 to 3 +c/14, 5 and 7 just
unchanged-interval (eigenmonzo) basis: 2.7/5

Optimal ET sequence: 19, 56d, 61d, 75, 80, 94, 99, 212, 292, 311, 410, 1131, 1541b, 1659b

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.

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.
