[maxmsp] ascii output to Live

did a quick search, didnt find anything...
   Noob here, really enjoying MAX... Basically im trying to use MAX to replace Bomes Midi Translator. So Max will be taking in a MIDI note or cc and send out an ascii character(s) to Ableton Live.  Does anyone know how this could be done, or Could anyone point me in the direction of an object that can output ascii characters to Live. Thanks in advance...
