nothing wrong, the default setting is for it to return to loops at the 
exact point where you last left it. So if you switch out of a loop 
somewhere in the middle, when you come back to it you will begin at that 
same point in the middle. The reason for this is an assumption that if you 
are switching out of the loop at that point, it must be the point you 
perceive to be the end, whether or not it is where the actual startpoint 
is. So the EDP respects that and returns you there. This is in keeping 
with 
the whole philosophy underlying unquantized operation.

If you really want it to start on the actual StartPoint, you have a few 
options.

One way is to set the SwitchQuant option on to "Loop" ("LOP" on the 
display). This way, when you press NextLoop, the EDP will wait until the 
end of the current loop before switching. And therefore, it will return to 
that loop at the StartPoint. This quantizing function is also useful since 
you can select which loop you want to go to during the waiting time by 
continuing to press Next before it switches.

Another way is to use the SamplerStyle parameter. This determines how 
multiple loops are triggered. The default setting is "run" which is this 
effect of always returning to the loop where you left it and then 
continuing from there. If you set it to Start ("StA" on the display), it 
will always start a loop at the StartPoint no matter where you left and 
continue playing it from there.
