What’s New from KORG:

This year, KORG is excited to introduce a lineup of brand-new products that embody the spirit of innovation and our commitment to excellence. These products are designed with musicians and creators in mind, offering unparalleled quality, sound, and versatility.

KRONOS

Since its debut in 2011, the groundbreaking KRONOS has earned massive admiration from musicians worldwide, evolving through model updates and innovations shaped by the feedback from so many professional musicians using KRONOS on the biggest stages and studios around the world. Revered as the definitive keyboard for professionals and discerning amateurs, the KRONOS has consistently set the gold standard in performance, power and versatility.

 

Now, by popular demand, the KRONOS is back—refreshed, refined, and ready to reclaim its place in the spotlight. With intuitive controls, access to over 300 premium Sound Libraries, and a suite of exclusive features, the newest KRONOS is designed to redefine what’s possible on any stage and in any studio.

multi/poly module

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. It's already garnering acclaim as one of the best synths of the year.

 

KORG is now pleased to introduce the multi/poly module: all of the multi/poly's incredible features and sounds in a compact 19" desktop/rackmount package. With support for MIDI 2.0 property exchange and poly aftertouch, the module is an excellent companion to Korg's Keystage controller. It’s also fully compatible with programs from the multi/poly native software, as well as an increasing number of excellent third-party libraries, keeping the updated sounds and software fresh. The new 19" rack-mountable enclosure has the same controls as the keyed model, yet is easily transportable and fits neatly into any studio or desktop production system.

multi/poly native

multi/poly native is the fully-compatible software counterpart to the hardware multi/poly synthesizer. It is available in VST3, AAX, and standalone formats on both macOS and Windows, as well as AU on macOS. You can seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software, and access an increasing number of excellent third-party libraries, keeping the updated sounds and software fresh. Produce in your DAW with multi/poly native, and then play the same sounds on stage using the multi/poly hardware. Create sounds with the hardware’s hands-on interface, and then share them with a computer-based collaborator.

Pa5X OS Update V1.4.0 - preview

Visit the KORG USA booth for an exclusive preview of the upcoming update for the Pa5X Arranger keyboard! This highly anticipated update introduces powerful new features and enhancements that users have been eagerly awaiting. Apart from other refined features, the main improvements for the new OS 1.4.0 are:

- Quick Record: Effortlessly capture your ideas with the new Smart Recording Environment.

- Full Song Edit: Enjoy a complete editing suite for perfecting your compositions on Pa5X.

- Style Creator Bot: Instantly generate custom styles from your MIDI files.

 

miniKORG 700Sm

Released in 2021, the miniKORG 700FS was a spectacular revival of the legendary 1970s miniKORG 700S analog synthesizer, enhanced with additional functionality that wasn’t possible in the original. The miniKORG 700FS was so popular that its limited production run sold out so quickly, creating significant demand for increased production.

 

Korg has a long history of groundbreaking analog synthesizers, and has recently gained recognition for faithfully reproducing some of the rarest and most sought-after instruments. The miniKORG 700Sm is a tribute to the sound of the iconic miniKORG 700S, the very origin of Korg’s analog synth history, while being enhanced to meet the needs of today’s musicians.

FISA SUPREMA C

The groundbreaking FISA SUPREMA reaches new horizons with the introduction of the compact FISA SUPREMA C. This new model offers all the advanced technology and authentic playing experience of the original, but in a lighter, smaller format tailored for musicians who value portability and comfort without compromise. The reduced size and weight make it even easier to handle, enabling longer, more comfortable performances whether at home, on stage, or on the move. FISA SUPREMA C delivers unmatched convenience while preserving the playability and all the rich, expressive sound that made the standard SUPREMA such a game-changer.

Pitchblack X CR/BL

The Pitchblack X, celebrated for its exceptional tuning precision, outstanding visibility, and ULTRA BUFFER technology that ensures your instrument’s sound quality remains intact, now comes in two eye-catching new colors. Besides the standard beautiful black color, you can now choose Blue or Cream to bring a fresh, stylish flair to your pedalboard while enjoying the same reliable performance that musicians around the world trust. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Pitchblack X now tunes with accuracy and looks great doing it.

handytraxx play

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.

handytraxx tube

In a world dominated by digital music, Korg introduces the handytraxx tube, a record player designed for those captivated by the timeless allure of analog records.

 

At a time when many people listen to music on their smartphones through wireless earbuds, the handytraxx tube bridges the gap between modern convenience and analogue fascination, a love that transcends eras and tastes.

 

With built-in stereo speakers, a portable design, and battery operation, the handytraxx tube delivers a rich, warm sound experience wherever you go. Each component has been meticulously crafted to prioritise sound quality, including an aluminium die-cast platter* for precise and stable rotation, a balanced tone arm featuring an MM cartridge, and a phono amp powered by Korg’s innovative Nutube next-generation vacuum tube.

 

Unlike the average turntable, the handytraxx tube maximises sound quality with the warmth of a triode vacuum tube and incorporates unique features, while remaining remarkably compact.

handytraxx 1bit

Experience your analog records at their best. With the ability to archive them as high-resolution digital data. Now you can enjoy superior sound quality anytime, anywhere with the knowledge your records have been backed up in the highest resolution possible.

 

The handytraxx 1bit is the flagship model in the handytraxx series, offering state-of-the-art recording capabilities. Capture the essence of your vinyl in stunning 5.6 MHz, 1-bit (DSD) format, delivering 5.6 million samples per second for unparalleled sound quality. Whether you’re digitizing a priceless vinyl library or enjoying casual playback, the handytraxx 1bit is the perfect solution for every vinyl enthusiast.

handytraxx tube J

In collaboration with JICO, a distinguished manufacturer of high-quality analog audio styli and cartridges, we are proud to announce the release of the limited-edition handytraxx tube J. This portable record player, already celebrated for its innovative design, now features JICO’s groundbreaking Clipper MM Cartridge, delivering an elevated Hi-Fi experience for vinyl enthusiasts.

 

The cartridge and styli are the heart of any turntable, and even modest systems can achieve significantly improved sound with high-quality components. To meet the challenge of delivering exceptional sound quality in a portable, all-in-one player, the handytraxx tube J incorporates the precision-engineered Clipper cartridge, ensuring a listening experience that is rich, detailed, and true to the original recording.

What’s New from VOX:


 

AC-TTBC series (AC30/ AC15/ AC10)

The limited custom-color amps released by VOX have long been immensely popular among VOX players. Now, a new two-tone model featuring cream and deep royal blue is here. Named TTBC (Two Tone Blue & Cream), this model combines these colors with a black diamond fret cloth, resulting in a distinguished appearance. By incorporating a retro badge logo from the ‘70s, it proudly carries on the brand's rich tradition.

V863-CA

The V863-CA Wah Pedal revolutionizes the wah experience, blending classic manual control with innovative Auto/Pedal modes for unmatched versatility. Staying true to the iconic VOX tonal heritage, this pedal delivers legendary wah tones while offering fresh creative possibilities.

 

Ideal for players of all levels, the V863-CA excels as a traditional wah and introduces user-friendly auto modes, perfect for exploring dynamic expression without precise foot control. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the V863-CA combines timeless tone with modern innovation, empowering guitarists to elevate their sound effortlessly.

Starstream Bass Artist HL4/5

The VOX Starstream Bass Artist HL redefines headless bass guitars, offering exceptional playability and cutting-edge design in both 4- and 5-string models. Combining advanced engineering with premium materials, this bass guitar is perfect for players seeking innovation, reliability, and standout performance.

What's new from SAKAE


 

Evolved Japan Custom Drum

The SAKAE Evolved Kit, crafted in Japan with exceptional artistry, redefines premium drum performance. Building on the legacy of Japanese drum-making, this second-generation maple shell kit balances timeless craftsmanship with modern enhancements, delivering unmatched tone, clarity, and depth.

 

Featuring 29 vibrant shell colors, 10 powder-coated lug finishes, and updated lug designs for a focused sound, each kit is meticulously assembled under the guidance of master craftsmen. Combining aesthetic brilliance with sonic excellence, the Evolved Kit empowers drummers to express their unique sound while embodying the pinnacle of Japanese drum-making tradition.

Japan Custom Metal Snares (Steel/Brass)

The STEEL and BRASS metal snares are new additions to the JAPAN CUSTOM SNARE series, and are all handmade in Osaka, Japan. The STEEL is a classic metal snare that suits a wide range of genres and playing styles, while the BRASS delivers a shimmering sound and richness in the low midrange, and is finished in high-grade black nickel.

 

All metal parts have been musically crafted, from the alloy composition to the wall thickness. The snare wire (snappy) is made of high carbon material. The special heat treatment makes it strong yet flexible, enhancing the material characteristics of the shell as well. The metal shells are also beat-processed (concave) in two places, which serves to maintain the durability of each snare drum by preventing the circular center from falling and also to cut excess overtones for a tighter sound.

Concept Prototypes:

In addition to our new releases, KORG will showcase a selection of concept prototypes—products in their exploratory phase that push the boundaries of what’s possible in music creation. These prototypes represent our vision for the future and invite feedback from the music community. While these concepts may or may not be destined for commercialization, we’re excited to share our ideas and gather inspiration from the incredible NAMM audience.
