We all know the shuffle function is great for breaking up that feeling of knowing anticipation as you make your way through your favourite albums yet again, but perhaps you’d like a tiny bit more control over which song plays next, even if linear listening isn’t your thing. The [Jalapeño Beat Maker](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1330531709/jalapenotm-portable-beat-maker-for-action-sports?ref=protein.xyz) answers this call, allowing users’ body movements to determine which music plays next - and how it sounds.   
  
Aimed at the action sports market, the portable Jalapeño Beat Maker adds various audio layers to a track depending on its user’s movements – most likely executed as tricks. Take snowboarding, for example. When a user gets airtime, a layer will drop out. Upon landing the trick, the bass will come back in, adding a whole new element of rhythmic balance to the user's chosen activity.   
  
Users can either choose audio layers from a predetermined list of artists or add their own original layers to compose tracks on the go. The Beat Maker is shaping up to be a useful tool for sports people who want to put their creativity to good use, having a larger impact on the soundtracks they create. Developed by music-based tech startup, [Beat Farm](http://beatfarmusa.com/?ref=protein.xyz), and currently on Kickstarter, you can pledge to the Jalapeño Beat Maker [here](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1330531709/jalapenotm-portable-beat-maker-for-action-sports?ref=protein.xyz).
