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.

Technics dust covers and hinges.
Ive been putting off buying these for years. My og ones were thrown in a skip by my dad. Still bitter about that but I'm super happy with this purchase. They look very high quality and obviously make my 1200mk2's look even more fantastic. Hope not to have to buy them again but if I do, it'll be from Mix Foundation. 10/10 🤙🕺

Good peeps
Mike was extremely pleasant to deal with and cordial. Went out of his way to help me with a small and finickity order buying some chroma caps, which indicate to me that the Mix Foundation don't see customers as ATMs but as people. Also they care about what the customer needs and are prepared to put time into finding out, so I would trust them to give honest advice to help people fulfill their djing needs. I would certainly recommend this company!

Clear, balanced and punchy. Get one.
Value for money is right up there. If you want the fuss-free convenience of a single piece of kit, put this on your list. The dynamics are right in the pocket and not overbearing or woolly at all. Runs my old Tannoy Mercurys beautifully, and the REL sub is almost superfluous.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. Will help out all customers, I was just buying some chroma caps, and Mike was an extremely helpful and pleasant person with this slightly fiddly request. You know if they help their small customers they are genuine people, so they have earned my trust and I would certainly shop with them for a bigger purchase. Thanks bro!
