Korg: Analog Warmth Meets Digital Innovation | NAMM 2025

Korg turntables handytraxx play – made for turntablists, record diggers, sample collectors, and those who want to take those records and manipulate them. It’s the first turntable of its kind and has a multi-mode filter, as well as looper and delay module built in.
The handytraxx play is the result of a collaboration between Korg and Toshihide Nakama, the former President of Vestax and co-developer 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.

New for 2025 Korg is introducing the handytraxx tube which is built with Nutube vacuum tubes and a Jico J44A needle to give you the best audio quality possible. Korg’s handytraxx 1bit also has everything that the handytraxx tube does, but you have Korg’s 1bit digital to analog converter so you can go directly from your USB into your computer for recording and sampling which is perfect for audiophiles everywhere.

Kronos 3 new generation with a new responsive display with an anti-glare coating to help get a crystal-clear display regardless of your environment. It runs faster with a new motherboard and processor, so the boot time is 60% faster than previous generations. With double the storage, 250 new presets, and backwards compatibility, you’ll have every Kronos sound you love to use, both new and old.

Inspired by the legendary KORG Mono/Poly, the new KORG multi/poly analog modeling synthesizer delivers breathtaking analog sounds combined with extraordinary digital power and flexibility.

The original Mono/Poly boasted an unusually rich sound from its four stacked oscillators, as well as unique, experimental features like flexible x-mod and sync routing and round-robin oscillator triggering. Previously only attainable in large modular systems, the Mono/Poly delivered these features in a compact, user-friendly instrument.

The new multi/poly is the first instrument to use KORG's next-generation analog modeling technology and builds on that legendary distinctive combination of big sounds and modular-derived experimental features. It's like a polyphonic modular system in a compact, hands-on package – a limitless playground for synth players and sound designers. Create hardware mashups with East-coast, West-coast, and wavetable oscillators and a wide selection of newly-modeled filters. Make them come alive with models of different envelope, VCA, and portamento circuits. Virtual voice cards produce organic timbral variation. Layer Rotate triggers new Programs with each press of a key. Plus, Kaoss Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0, massive modulation, and more.
