How do you use midi notes to trigger master playbacks?

Question

Hello, i'm currently working on a quiz show and we would like to trigger either a green or red flash from midi notes sent to our cobalt 10. Could anyone offer any advice on how best to set this up? I'd like to put the green flash on one master and the red flash on another. Are there any articles about how to use midi notes on the Cobalt? Many thanks, Alex

All console keys have an associated MIDI Note, so you can use a MIDI Note to press and release the Flash button of any Master. 
 
See the Help for details, search for "MIDI". 
 
I would recommend using the "Direct Mode MIDI" (default) for this purpose. 
In Direct Mode MIDI, the Flash buttons for Masters 1-20 are MIDI Notes 20-39.
