The 36edo patent val, like 12, tempers out 81/80, 128/125 and 648/625 in the 5-limit. It departs from 12 in the 7-limit, tempering out 686/675, and as a no-fives temperament, 1029/1024 and 118098/117649. The no-fives temperament tempering out 1029/1024, [[slendric]], is well supported by 36edo, its generator of ~8/7 represented by 7 steps of 36edo. In the 11-limit, the patent val tempers out 56/55, 245/242 and 540/539, and is the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank four temperament tempering out 56/55, as well as the rank three temperament [[Didymus rank three family|melpomene]] tempering out 81/80 and 56/55. In the 13-limit, it tempers out 78/77, in the 17-limit 51/50, and in the 19-limit 76/75, 91/90 and 96/95.

As a 5-limit temperament, the patent val for 36edo is [[Wedgies and Multivals|contorted]] ~~(or [[enfactored]])~~, meaning there are notes of it which cannot be reached from the unison using only 5-limit intervals. A curious alternative val for the 5-limit is <36 65 116| which is not contorted. It is also a meantone val, in the sense that 81/80 is tempered out. However, the "comma" |29 0 -9> is also tempered out, and the "fifth", 29\36, is actually approximately 7/4, whereas the "major third", 44\36, is actually approximately 7/3. Any 5-limit musical piece or scale which is a [[transversal]] for a meantone piece or scale will be converted to a no-fives piece tempering out 1029/1024 in place of 81/80 by applying this val.

Heinz Bohlen proposed it as a suitable temperament for approximating his 833-cents scale.
