Korg Handytraxx Play Portable Record Player

The Korg handytraxx carries forward the legendary spirit of the Vestax Handytrax, the world’s first and most successful portable turntable that defined the portablism movement. This innovative player goes well beyond traditional DJ equipment and standard turntables, offering comprehensive DJ functionality in a truly portable format. Record enthusiasts and serious portablists will find the handytraxx fulfils their mobile music needs whilst maintaining the authentic feel of working with vinyl records.

Professional DJ features include a sophisticated filter system with three distinct modes: Envelope Wah Filter, LFO Wah Filter, and Multi-mode Filter covering both low-pass and high-pass functions. The built-in looper incorporates BPM detection for creative mixing, whilst the cue function and monitoring capabilities allow solo DJ performance using just the looper whilst monitoring your record. The scratch fader provides smooth operation, complemented by a professional-grade crossfader featuring reverse mode, scratch-optimised curve settings, minimal cut lag, and a tactile surface designed for finger grip.

Customisation options set the handytraxx apart from other portable players. The detachable control panel can be repositioned for left-handed users or personalised setups, whilst the crossfader accepts user-preferred replacements. An industry-first cartridge adapter system allows upgrading from the standard ceramic cartridge to MM cartridges for enhanced audio quality.

Portability remains central to the design, with compact dimensions, lightweight construction, and flexible power options including AAA batteries or USB Type-C mobile battery packs. The integrated 3W speakers feature clever bass and volume positioning at the unit’s edge to minimise needle skip from vibrations. A detachable opaque dust cover with integrated handle completes the portable package.
