:Introduced in [[AC SDVX III|GRAVITY WARS]], the gauge is a mix of both EXCESSIVE and EFFECTIVE rates. When the gauge is depleted, the gauge switches to the EFFECTIVE rate at a level as if it is active, instead of a TRACK CRASH.

:A chain by rotating the knobs when it hits a lane. When used during song select, it functions as choosing a song or adjusting the song’s difficulty.

:An unlocking mechanism introduced in [[AC SDVX II|infinite infection]]. This unlocking scheme requires players to play a certain chart a couple of times to unlock a fourth chart for any older songs. It was formerly called ''INFINITE BLASTER''.

:Abbreviated as blocks, this in-game currency can be purchased to purchase song charts in the SDVX Station.

:An effector is a sound effect that varies across difficulties, which are produced whenever long FX notes are held, ANALOG chains being followed, or pressed with special FX chips. Various effects include Low-PassFilter, High-PassFilter, BitCLASHER, SideChain, ShortDelay, TapeScratch, WoBBLE and MashUp. Some effector may also produce gimmicks such as a Stop or tempo changes.

:The third tier of difficulty targeting for advanced players. Prior to [[AC SDVX IV|HEAVENLY HAVEN]], this was the highest difficulty for a regular song. Its notation is EXH and colored Red, and typically levels between 12 and 17, with an actual range of 7-18.

:A HARD-gauge equivalent to the ones used in the beatmania IIDX series, it starts out at 100% and will trigger a TRACK CRASH if at any point the gauge is depleted.

:Introduced in GRAVITY WARS and removed in [[AC SDVX EG|EXCEED GEAR]], where players can use the generator to print out actual cards after each play session.

:The fourth level tier difficulty introduced in GRAVITY WARS, named after the subtitle. The notation is GRV and is colored brown-orange. The level difficulty spans between 15 and 20.

:The fourth level tier difficulty introduced in HEAVENLY HAVEN, named after the subtitle. Unlike the two difficulties introduced, HEAVENLY is introduced for returning songs with added charts, while newer songs feature MAXIMUM charts instead. The notation is HVN and is colored blue. The level difficulty spans between 16 to 19.

:Much like many rhythm games, a jacket is an illustration that displays the song. Most songs may have a different jacket varying across difficulties, while some songs uses the same jacket. The jacket's name is credited in Illustrated by. In the Korean versions of the game, some jackets that display suggestive themes are censored by replacing those jackets into a generic jacket.

;Original Song Contest

:An event of a themed-song submission contest published by KONAMI, whereas any song entries can be submitted, be it an original composition, song remixes or entries. Note that these songs are classified as a FLOOR original, instead of a KONAMI original.

;Ω Dimension

:An EXTRACK-exclusive unlock system similar to BLASTER GATE. Songs from each batches (also called Phases) are shown to the player to choose from, and its difficulty, with higher difficulty having a higher BLASTER LEVEL. Clearing the song unlocks the charts for regular play (and any charts from lower difficulties if applicable), and also simplifying the BLASTER LEVEL. By clearing enough songs up to the highest difficulty, hidden songs are available for unlocking.

;MAXIMUM

:The fourth tier of difficulty targeting players aimed for expert players. Only new songs added after HEAVENLY HAVEN have this difficulty; they have a MXM notation colored black-white, and typically ranges from levels 16 to 20 with 14 being the lowest possible level.

:An unlocking system whereas players can spend their PCB to INPUT their songs (i.e. unlocking songs for regular play). Some songs also require additional requirements to make the chart available for unlock. As of HEAVENLY HAVEN, this mode can now be used to obtain Appeal cards and unlocking some POLICY BREAK songs.

;SKILL ANALYZER

:A course-based mode where players played a three-song set using a special RATE called PERMISSIVE RATE. At any point the rate hits zero, it results in a TRACK CRASH, and only CRITICALs can recover said gauge.
