What waveform are you using?  The reason I
ask is my recollection is that the initial starting value (phase = 0) is not
what I at least expected.  For example the pulse-type waves I believe start
at an on value and not zero.

Also is this repeatable every time you start the pattern from a full-stop?
Guessing here but the XX-7 likely keeps track of a bar count from the start
of sequencing (time=0).  Pausing the sequence, which is stopping without
returning the position to start, will not reset this position.  So (again
speculating) playing a one bar pattern four times followed by an 8 bar
pattern (whether paused or not between) will have the 8 bar pattern
"see" the LFO as if it was starting in mid-phase as the change in patterns I
do not believe restarts the LFO phases.

Again I am speculating.
