Canou family: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

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.

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.

For tunings, a basic 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.

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.

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 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.

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

Natural extensions arise up to the 19-limit, and 410edo provides a satisfactory tuning solution to any of them.
