Scales with 7-limit and 11-limit resources

I'd love to hear your favorite 'easy' scales which 7-limit and 11-limit intervals.

Easy = not too many notes to handle, less than 24 would be good (though somewhere around 9-18 is nice)

Because I'm looking for new pitch material to use. :)

Actually forget everything I said... If you've been working with a cool scale, let's hear it!

here is the simplest 7 limit i have used to good effect and think it as a good way to learn these intervals.
you might try the inversion of this also.

In the Wilson archive i added a set of early 12 tone scales Erv and Gard David came up with.
further down there are the Marwa and Purvi material originally found in xenharmonikon which are good places to play with too.

the 22 tone 1-3-7-9-11-15 Eikosany is a good scale on the large size or Erv has a good 7 limit 22.

Canwright's 2 harmonics series a 3/2 apart 8-16 is a good place to explore.
The subharmonic version too.

Kraig you've given me a lot to try out, thank you!! I'll try improvising with the scales you've mentioned, starting with Centaur and hopefully I'll be able to tease out some new sounds.

I started a topic about Eikosanies a couple of weeks ago, but am not really any closer to understanding them. My issue is how to reveal the structure of the Eikosany when pitches are mapped linearly to a MIDI keyboard. Am I going about things the wrong way?

Cheers again, I'll have fun. ;-)
