'''Keemun''' is an [[extension]] of the [[hanson]] temperament, and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[49/48]], [[56/55]], and [[100/99]] in the [[11-limit]]. This means it uses the same simple mappings for the 7th and 11th harmonics as [[orgone]]. Unfortunately, the optimal tunings for the 3rd and 5th harmonics is substantially flatter than that for the 7th & 11th ones, requiring you to compromise one set for the other. The edos that support keemun in their patent vals are [[4edo]], [[15edo]], [[19edo]], and [[34edo]], with [[49edo|49d]] and [[64edo|64bde]] coming closer to balancing the errors equally.
'''Keemun''' is an [[extension]] of the [[hanson]] temperament. It identifies the hemitwelfth as [[7/4]][[~]][[12/7]] and the two-generator step as [[13/9]][[~]][[16/11]], [[tempering out]] [[49/48]], [[56/55]], [[91/90]] and [[100/99]] in the [[13-limit]]. This means it uses the same simple mappings for the [[7/1|7th]] and [[11/1|11th harmonics]] as [[orgone]]. Unfortunately, the optimal tuning for the [[3/1|3rd]] and [[5/1|5th harmonics]] is substantially flatter than that for the 7th & 11th, requiring you to compromise one set for the other. [[Edo]]s that [[support]] keemun in their [[patent val]]s are [[4edo]], [[15edo]], [[19edo]], and [[34edo]], with [[49edo|49d]] and [[64edo|64bde]] coming closer to balancing the errors equally.
