Built-in preset
MIDI: Media Deck preset
A pad controller as the Mac's media panel: pads for play / pause, next, and previous track, a Turn-mode knob for volume up and down, another for brightness, and a fader bound to System Volume so the level follows it. Everything is a System Function, so it works in every app.
CC 7 = fader, CC 71 = volume steps, CC 74 = brightness, pads = media
Where it is in the app
It ships inside InputConfig: open the sidebar and look in its folder, or search for it. Activate it, or press Edit to see every row. It is also here as a file, identical apart from being inactive and ungrouped, for anyone who deleted theirs or wants it on another Mac.

11 rows. Button names are the Xbox / PlayStation pair the editor shows; a Switch Pro Controller fires by position. Options are the row settings that differ from the defaults.
Notes
Pair with a Program Change row that switches presets and the same pad controller can have a media layout and a DAW layout on two patches.
