The handytraxx play is the result of a collaboration between Korg and Toshihide Nakama, the former President of Vestax and codeveloper 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.
