beatmania 7thMIX -keepin' evolution-

Release Information

  • Release date: January 31st, 2002

General Information / Changes

 

  • Introduces the SEPARATE frame, which divides each white and black key into separate lanes (much like in the beatmania IIDX series).
    • The CLASSIC frame (separate lanes for white keys, lines for black keys) remains as the default frame.
  • Introduces a new note type, the 1-Turn Scratch. This note appears 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.
    • A similar note type, the Backspin Scratch, appears in beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS. However, there are a few differences that distinguish it from 1-Turn Scratches (see here for specific details).
  • Single and Double charts are now rated individually, instead of having the same difficulty levels between Single and Double (like in earlier games).
  • Changes the name of the IIDX DOUBLE modifier from CORE REMIX and 6thMIX (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 IIDX).
    • This name would carry over to THE FINAL.
  • MANIAC difficulty is named ANOTHER once again.
  • New songs are once again distinguished from returning songs on the song select screen.
    • Songs that are entirely new in 7thMIX are colored blue on the song wheel.
    • Songs from 6thMIX are colored white.
    • Songs or charts that cannot be played while BATTLE is active are colored yellow, and have an accompanying warning.
  • Last beatmania game that allows the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) to be selected.
  • Last beatmania game to feature fully animated background movies that occupy the center of the screen during gameplay.
    • Also the last game to feature MISS backgrounds that appear when the player gets a BAD or POOR judgment.
    • THE FINAL uses animation clips (with mostly low frame counts) that only occupy a small square, and MISS backgrounds are removed entirely.
  • Only beatmania game to feature Hiroshi Takeyasu as part of the game staff.
  • Masayuki Takahashi makes his BEMANI debut.
  • Several songs have a scroll speed modifier applied by default when playing certain charts.
    • When using a HI-SPEED option on such a chart, that HI-SPEED's modifier multiplies with that chart's default scroll speed modifier.

Phase Unlock System

  • 7thMIX has a phase unlock system, which unlocks new content in the game by entering codes at the title screen while it says to press either START button.
    • Each phase code entered also unlocks all content from each phase below it.
      • During phase 02 and higher, if you fail to enter a phase code 3 times, the game will refuse to accept any more codes until you leave and return to the title screen.
    • The phase entered will remain active until either the TEST MENU is entered, or the machine is powered off.
  • Phase Codes

  • To select options, do so via either of the methods below.
  • Available options will differ according to the method used, and whether Event Mode is enabled.
Title Screen
  • While the screen says to press either START button, press the EFFECT button, then press the corresponding key button(s) shown on screen, or rotate the turntable.
    • Available options: BATTLE/CENTER; MIRROR/RANDOM; DOUBLE/CENTER DOUBLE; HISPEED 1/2/3; HIDDEN/SUDDEN/HIDDEN+SUDDEN; ALL MUSIC (when unlocked)

    • Available options: CENTER (Event Mode only); MIRROR/RANDOM; HISPEED 1/2/3; HIDDEN/SUDDEN/HIDDEN+SUDDEN
  • This method is available even while Event Mode is enabled.

Select Frame Type & Frame Color

  • To select the frame type and frame color, do so from the Mode Select screen by pressing the following buttons.
    • Frame Type: 2+4 or 7+9 (both black key buttons on an active play side)
      • Default: CLASSIC
        • Note that if 1P or 2P START is held when starting the game on the title screen, SEPARATE will be the default frame type instead.
      • One: SEPARATE
      • Two: (Return to Default)
    • Frame Color: 1P or 2P START (on an active play side)
      • Default: Default
      • One: FLAME

      • Five: Forest
      • Six: CHERRY
      • Seven: SNOW
      • Eight: Chocolate
      • Nine: Bright
      • Ten: (Return to Default)

Select Graphic Mode in EXPERT Mode

  • To select the graphic mode in EXPERT Mode, do so from the course select screen by pressing the following buttons.
    • 2+4 or 7+9 (both black key buttons on an active play side)
      • Default: COUNTER
      • One: MOVIE
      • Two: (Return to Default)

Select Song Sort

  • To select the song sort on the song select screen, press the START button on an active play side.
    • Default: Difficulty
    • One: Song Name
    • Two: (Return to Default)

Select NORMAL/HARD/ANOTHER Difficulty Charts

  • To change between NORMAL/HARD difficulty charts on the song select screen, press 2+4 or 7+9 (both black key buttons on an active play side).
    • Default: NORMAL
    • One: HARD
    • Two: (Return to Default)
  • To change to ANOTHER difficulty charts on the song select screen, press and hold 2+4 or 7+9.
    • Once "ANOTHER" is displayed, continue to hold 2+4, then select the song by pressing 1/3/5 or 6/8/10 (any white key on an active play side).
    • Releasing 2+4 or 7+9 will return to HARD or NORMAL difficulty.

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.
  • 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).
  1. Press and hold the EFFECT button to open the option select menu.
  2. Press 2 or 7 (left black key on an active play side) the corresponding number of times.
    1. Default: (Nothing)
    2. One: MIRROR
    3. Two: RANDOM
    4. Three: "FLIP" (no visible indication)
    5. Four: "FLIP" (no visible indication) + MIRROR
    6. Five: "FLIP" (no visible indication) + RANDOM
    7. 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.
  1. Press and hold the EFFECT button to open the option select menu.
  2. Press 2 or 7 (left black key on an active play side) the corresponding number of times.
    1. Default: (Nothing)
    2. One: MIRROR
    3. Two: RANDOM
    4. Three: "FLIP" (no visible indication; automatically disabled if song is selected without second player)
    5. Four: (Return to Default)

Event Mode

Selecting Options, Song Sort, Frame Type, and Mode During Event Mode
  • When Event Mode is enabled, there are several differences in making selections, which are as follows.
    • The options menu cannot be shown on the title screen, preventing selection of options from there.
    • The Mode Select menu is skipped, preventing selection of game mode, frame type, and frame color.
    • Song selection is performed with the START button(s), instead of a white key button (1/3/5 or 6/8/10).
    • To make each selection, follow the procedures below on the song select screen.
  • Select Options
    • Press and hold the EFFECT button, then press the corresponding key button(s) shown on screen.
      • Unlike in non-Event Mode, the CENTER option can be enabled from this menu.
        • To enable CENTER DOUBLE, enable the CENTER option, then select DOUBLE mode.
  • Select Song Sort
    • Press and hold the EFFECT button, then press either START button.
      • Default: Difficulty
      • One: Song Name
      • Two: (Return to Default)
  • Select Frame Type
    • Press and hold the following button(s), then select the song and mode.
      • CLASSIC: Nothing
      • SEPARATE: 1 and/or 6 (leftmost white key button on either side)
  • Select Mode
    • Press the following button(s).
      • 1P START: SINGLE
      • 2P START: DOUBLE
      • 1P+2P START: BATTLE
        • Two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars) cannot be specifically selected while in Event Mode.
          • However, if a chart says that BATTLE cannot be played and BATTLE is selected anyway, it will play two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars).
