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 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.

Decent amount of harmonic resources are provided by a simple 9-note scale. [[Flora Canou]] commented:

:''— It sounds somewhat like a Phrygian scale but the abundance of small intervals of [[28/27]] makes it melodically active.''
 
14- and 19-note scales are also possible. See [[canou scales]] for more information.  


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.

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.

This 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.

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.
