Edit Translator window: for the Translator Mute Toggle, set the Incoming Action to a MIDI message. This particular MIDI message is sent by Frontier Design's AlphaTrack when pressing the mute button.

Edit Translator window: for the Translator Mute Toggle, set the Outgoing Action to a keystroke. In response to the incoming action, a keypress is emulated, causing the media player to mute the volume.

Edit Translator window: this Translator has a set of rules which are executed when the incoming action is triggered. In this case, the rules are used to calculate the number of key presses necessary to reach the volume set on the control surface: first, scale the variable vv by first multiplying it with 11, and dividing it by 50. Then, the number of keypresses is calculated by taking the difference from the last value with the new (scaled) value. If the number of needed keypresses is 0 or negative, do not issue any keystrokes. Otherwise the ksytroke for Volume Down is emulated xx times.
That's an example how to control the volume from a MIDI control surface by way of keystrokes.
Rules are available in the Pro, Author, and Player editions.

Edit Translator window: set up a timer. This Outgoing Action, when triggered, will create a timer named "Volume Down". The timer will execute xx times, where xx is a variable calculated in the rules. Each execution of the timer is done with a delay of 10 milliseconds.
Timers are available in the Pro, Author, and Player editions.
