    Portable vinyl performance, perfected.

    The Handy Trax, originally created by Vestax, redefined portable turntables by giving users the freedom to play and scratch records anywhere. Beloved by DJs and vinyl enthusiasts alike, it helped spark the rise of "portablism".

     

    Now, Korg proudly reinvents this iconic turntable with the handytraxx play. Developed in collaboration with Toshihide Nakama, former President of Vestax and co-creator of the Handy Trax, the handytraxx play retains the essence of the original while introducing exciting new features. These include cutting-edge digital effects, a built-in looper, and high-quality controls that make it possible to physically “play” with records on the go. Combined with unique customization options, the handytraxx play delivers an unparalleled portable turntable experience. Perfect for casual vinyl lovers and hardcore portablists alike.

     

    Honoring Toshihide Nakama

    The handytraxx play is the result of a collaboration between Korg and Toshihide Nakama, the former President of Vestax and co-developer of the original Handy Trax. Developed closely with Nakama as an all-new kind of record player, the handytraxx play leverages Korg’s unique digital processing and audio technologies while staying true to the spirit of the original Handy Trax. Tragically, Nakama passed away during the development of the handytraxx play on June 10th, 2023, but his vision and philosophy live on through this product, carrying his legacy to music lovers worldwide.

     

    Optimized for scratching

    The handytraxx play has been meticulously designed to provide an exceptional scratching experience. The high-quality fader, developed under Nakama’s guidance, offers super smooth, precise motion and minimized silent zones for effortless cuts and transitions. Beginners and seasoned portablists alike will appreciate the responsive feel and the ability to reverse scratch by swapping crossfader channels. Every detail of the fader has been optimized to enhance performance while maintaining the portability that defines the handytraxx play.

     

    Unique digital effects

    Korg’s expertise in digital audio processing brings powerful effects to the handytraxx play, elevating its creative potential.

     

    Three types of filters:  The handytraxx play offers three versatile filter types, each designed to provide dynamic control over your sound.

    • The DJ filter seamlessly blends low-pass and high-pass filters, allowing smooth transitions.
    • The EQ filter with a low isolator enhances bass frequencies for deep, impactful tones.
    • Lastly, the peaking wah filter with modulation adds a unique, expressive touch, letting you shape bold experimental sounds or subtle nuanced effects in real time.

     

    Delay

    In addition to filters, the handytraxx play features a built-in delay effect that expands your creative possibilities. From creating spacious, ambient soundscapes to bold, metallic echoes, the delay effect can be controlled intuitively using the vertical fader for precise level adjustments.

     

    This seamless integration of effects makes the handytraxx play an essential tool to enhance any DJ performance.

     

    Built-in audio looper and versatile playback control

    The handytraxx play includes a built-in looper that redefines creativity for DJs and vinyl enthusiasts. With its variable speed control switch, the looper lets you capture and replay live playback of a record’s sound—a feature known as live looping.
