Product description

Portable vinyl performance, perfected.

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.

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.

Built-in audio looper and versatile playback control

With its variable speed control switch, the looper lets you capture and replay audio in real-time, enabling unique DJ mixes, sampling, and seamless record swapping. The variable speed control allows for adjusting playback speed, switching between 33 and 45 RPM, and fine-tuning the variable speed ratio. This feature enables layered recordings and scratching, unlocking endless musical possibilities.

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 minimised silent zones for effortless cuts and transitions.

Groove on the go

The handytraxx play can be powered by the included AC adapter or six AA batteries, giving you the flexibility to take your music anywhere. The built-in 2.5W speaker delivers impressive sound with rich bass and clear playback, whether you’re connected to external speakers or not.
