I'm quite new to Max and Ableton Live, so I'm stumbling around in the dark a bit, but I want to make a small max4live effect that does some stuff and spits out a number, and then takes that number and uses it to control, e.g., an EQ Eight frequency cutoff.

LFO makes this sort of thing easy, so I looked into that a bit, but it seems more complicated than I'd hope (and with a custom UI and stuff).

Does anyone have an example of the minimal way to take a single value I'm computing and start sending it to an arbitrary control?

In the Max's menu bar there is a "Extras" menu with a M4L.api.ListOfAbstractions option with examples. 

Check the M4L Building Tools Pack for more examples.

Alt+clicking a object opens the Help for the object, if it is a pre-built patch instead of a "native" Max object (it opens the help for "patcher" ) then ctrl+double clicking opens that (sub) patch.

Maybe live.remote~ and its help?

The pointer to Extras was quite helpful. I was able to get my thing working, but see where I can catch other fish here. Thanks a lot.
