* HI-SPEED - increases the scroll rate of the note chart. It is important to point out that the actual notes do not have to be pressed any more quickly; the scroll speed is simply increased and the notes become further apart. Most beatmania IIDX players use Hi-Speed to make the notes easier to read. Most versions of beatmania IIDX have more than one Hi-Speed setting, differentiated by numbers (a higher number means a faster speed.) The Hi-Speed modifier is traditionally abbreviated HS with the number immediately following. For example, Hi-Speed 2 is abbreviated HS2. In styles from DistoreD and IIDX RED CS onward, the player is able to change High Speeds during actual gameplay. Starting with HAPPY SKY and 10th Style CS, Hi-Speed options are expanded to .5 intervals ranging from normal speed to Hi-Speed 4 or 5. Starting in SPADA, the Hi-Speed setting can only be changed on the main gameplay screen. [[AC Rootage|Rootage]] | * HI-SPEED - increases the scroll rate of the note chart.

Starting with [[AC tricoro|tricoro]], the HI-SPEED settings are the multipliers, going from x0.50 to x4.00 in 0.25 increments. Starting in SPADA, the Hi-Speed setting can only be changed on the main gameplay screen. [[AC Rootage|Rootage]] introduced a new HI-SPEED system, temporally replacing old one. There are 10 HI-SPEED settings, and the chart will now scroll at the same speed on a given HI-SPEED setting regardless of the song BPM, but BPM changes will still affect the scroll speed. [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]] re-enables CLASSIC HI-SPEED and expandes Rootage's HI-SPEED to 20 settings. | ||
:Hi-Speed is traditionally adjusted by holding the START button during gameplay and hitting either a black or white key. [[AC tricoro|tricoro]] introduces the Floating Hi-Speed, in which adjustments are done by one-hundredth decimal intervals by spinning the turntable in a corresponding direction. A player can switch between the traditional and Floating Hi-Speed by pressing the EFFECT button or [0] on the keypad while the Hi-Speed window is open. | :Hi-Speed is traditionally adjusted by holding the START button during gameplay and hitting either a black or white key.

* RANDOM+ - introduced in IIDX RED AC and 8th style CS, this is similar to Random, except that the scratch column is included in the randomization process, so the scratches usually end up assigned to a key, and a key gets assigned to the scratch. This modifier usually completely changes the character of the note chart, so scores obtained using this modifier are not recorded. | * RANDOM+ - introduced in IIDX RED AC and 8th style CS, this is similar to Random, except that the scratch column is included in the randomization process, so the scratches usually end up assigned to a key, and a key gets assigned to the scratch.
