beatmania 7thMIX -keepin' evolution-
Release Information
- Release date: January 31st, 2002
General Information / Changes
- First beatmania game that allows to play with separate lanes for white and black keys, much like the beatmania IIDX series.
- Introduces a new note type, 1-Turn Scratches. These notes appear as a long green scratch note. To get the best score possible, you must turn the turntable exactly once by the time the note ends.
- However, a similar variant of the note, Backspin Scratch, appears in beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS. It is separately counted as two notes, with the end of the note requiring to spin on the other direction.
- MANIAC difficulty is named ANOTHER once again.
- Single and Double charts are finally re-rated individually, instead of the same difficulty levels like in earlier games.
- Only beatmania game to feature Hiroshi Takeyasu as part of the game staff.
- New songs are colored blue on the song wheel.
- Masayuki Takahashi makes his BEMANI debut.
- 7thMIX changes the name of the IIDX DOUBLE modifier from CORE REMIX and 6thMIX (which was previously named BM-II DOUBLE in completeMIX 2) to CENTER DOUBLE.
- The modifier moves the 1P- and 2P-side play fields to the center of the screen when playing Double (to mimic the layout of Double Play in beatmania IIDX).
- The name CENTER DOUBLE would carry over to the last game in the original beatmania series, beatmania THE FINAL.

Undocumented "FLIP" Modifier
- In 7thMIX, there is an undocumented modifier that behaves similarly to the DP FLIP modifier later officially implemented in the IIDX series (beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD).
- When this "FLIP" modifier is enabled, the 1P and 2P sides of the notechart are swapped.
- However, due to the modifier's implementation being incomplete, 1-Turn Scratch notes will remain on the original side.
- When this "FLIP" modifier is enabled, the 1P and 2P sides of the notechart are swapped.
- To enable "FLIP", during two-player or DOUBLE mode, follow the steps below on the song select screen (the modifier cannot be selected on the title screen).
- Press and hold the EFFECT button to open the option select menu.
- Press 2 or 7 (left black key on an active play side) the corresponding number of times.
- Default: (Nothing)
- One: MIRROR
- Two: RANDOM
- Three: "FLIP" (no visible indication)
- Four: "FLIP" (no visible indication) + MIRROR
- Five: "FLIP" (no visible indication) + RANDOM
- Six: (Return to Default)
- Strictly speaking, it is also possible to enable "FLIP" during SINGLE mode.
- If a second player joins in while on the song select screen, the "FLIP" status shown below will continue to be enabled.
- Press and hold the EFFECT button to open the option select menu.
- Press 2 or 7 (left black key on an active play side) the corresponding number of times.
- Default: (Nothing)
- One: MIRROR
- Two: RANDOM
- Three: "FLIP" (no visible indication; automatically disabled if song is selected without second player)
- Four: (Return to Default)
