EQ with Hand Drawn Curve

I'm pretty new to MaxMSP, and I was wondering if you guys could help me with this.

I'm interested in creating an EQ plugin for Live that allows you to hand draw the EQ path/curve. I want to use a Leap Motion controller to sketch the curve for the equalizer. I'm planning on running the Leap Motion through Processing to generate a visualizer for it, and I was hoping to be able to output an array to Max that would correspond to the curve for the equalizer. I've seen hand drawn waveforms in Max, so I was hoping to be able to do the same with equalizers, though I've never seen that approach.

Does anyone know of any Max plugins that might already have that kind of functionality? Even one that used a mouse to draw the line would be really helpful. If not, can anyone give me any tips on how to approach this? I'd really appreciate it. I'm also interested in doing the same thing with waveforms (with the Leap Motion), so if you have any advice on that, please let me know! Thanks!

Thanks so much! Working on implementing this now.
