Make sure that you have SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE active in your Cubase Preferences: Go to Cubase Preferences > MIDI > MIDI FILTER
Usually Cubase has System Exclusive FILTERED - remove the FILTER so that you can record and automate your EQ changes.”

ARRGGGH!  So that’ all it was - - I “unfiltered” my sys ex under MIDI in preferences, and VOILA!  Good to go!

That’s interesting, because in Cubase AI5 SysEx is filtered by default, and yet I had no problem with the EQ knobs controlling the Editor VST without “unfiltering” SysEx. I would have suggested changing the filter setting if the behavior in AI5 was otherwise. Apparently Steinberg changed the operation sometime between Cubase 5 and 9.

I’m glad the problem got resolved.
