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 customisation options, the handytraxx play delivers an unparalleled portable turntable experience. Perfect for casual vinyl lovers and hardcore portablists alike.
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.
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. 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.
The variable speed control switch provides intuitive options for adjusting playback speed, a fundamental requirement for DJs. You can effortlessly switch between 33 and 45 RPM or fine-tune the variable speed ratio to match your creative needs. This adaptability extends to layering recordings over existing loops—for instance, playing back a beat loop at your chosen speed and overlaying scratching sounds on top. The handytraxx play’s looper opens new possibilities for musical expression, offering endless opportunities to innovate and perform.
Precision craftsmanship
Every component of the handytraxx play has been crafted for superior performance. The custom-designed tonearm offers high-level tracing performance, minimising needle skipping during playback and scratching. A belt-driven motor with digital rotation correction ensures stable platter rotation and quick recovery for incidental effects that sound natural. Refinements to the turntable mechanism further reduce skipping, allowing for consistent, reliable performance during even the most demanding scratch play.
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.
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 customisation options make the handytraxx play a truly personal and versatile tool, perfect for creating and performing.
*Basic soldering skills are required for replacing ceramic and MM cartridges.

Great portable speaker.
Loving this new addition. No cables needed and very low latency. Can't even notice it. Great for being portable and I use it as a sub in my music room. Battery life is great and it's easy to set up.
Does the job perfectly and mix foundation shipped it to me in record speed.

Kinda essential upgrade
Thanks for the advice and quick postage. Upgraded from 2M red to the blue stylus. Night and day in terms of accuracy. Don’t think just buy the blue if you have a red currently. Not an audiophile but difference was extremely noticeable. Put on a project debut carbon.

Great mixer!
Loving my new mixer. It's great to get rid of extra cables for my old sound card, and I'm enjoying all the extra effects that my DJM 800 didnt have. This was delivered really quickly and there was great communication from Mix Foundation.

The best I've ever heard as a DJ using this pair of cartridges and stills. Fortunately, I spoke with Grant's, who helped me with my choice.

No Frills work horse
Can't go wrong with a solid performing workhorse head shell prewired for you to just fit the cartridge. It is an SME bayonet fit - for "S" shaped tone arms like that used by technics on their Turntables and you just cannot ask for more at the price point. Works well for both the 2M and the new MC X range of cartridges. I have a 2M Black MM and X40 MC fitted to this head shell - no problems working well.

Right out of the box - no run-in it sounds open and transparent.
Open and transparent - solid bass, beautiful mid range and highs.
Tight is the word and low surface noise.
With everything equal - sound is open, extracting all there is in the grove.
A step up - yes - from the 2M black.
40 hours they say to run-in - going to be a sound experience.
Best buy for me - sure to bring me pleasure for hours.
A worthy cartridge to try and a keeper.

Decksaver - saver of the decks
This product is really great! I'm impressed. It fit's very snugly and offers support and protection in a very clever and simple way. I've not had to test it, but I feel confident it will do what it says on the tin.....just not maybe under the weight of a human....but you never know! :) I recommend it!

Quality cable
Bought two of these for Playback duties. I have used poor cables in the past and paid the price. Bought these cables years ago and they never let me down. Bought another set for another band Playback setup. Never let me down.
