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. 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 optimised to enhance performance while maintaining the portability that defines the handytraxx play.

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. This capability allows you to craft unique DJ mixes by adding scratches to a looped beat, recording your favourite sounds to use as a sampler, or even swapping records while the loop continues to play seamlessly. The looper’s versatility makes it an essential tool for both experimentation and live performance.

Flexible customization

A redesigned headshell supports both ceramic and MM cartridges*, offering flexibility for various playback styles. Users can replace the scratch fader or reorient the control panel for right- or left-handed use, ensuring comfort and adaptability for every DJ. These thoughtful customization options make the handytraxx play a truly personal and versatile tool, perfect for creating and performing.

Groove on the go

Designed for ultimate portability, 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.

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". 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.
