The Korg handytraxx play is a clever piece of kit, really geared toward the scratch DJ and loop artist who needs a compact, self-contained solution. It's not going to replace a high-end setup, but for quick gigs, busking, or just messing around with creative sampling on the go, it's a surprisingly capable and fun tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
