An apparatus includes a first controller, a second controller, and a coupling compensator. The first controller is configured to generate a first voice coil motor (VCM) control signal in response to a first position error signal. The second controller is configured to generate a second VCM control signal in response to a second position error signal. The coupling compensator is configured to generate a first feedforward correction signal in response to the first VCM control signal. The first feedforward correction signal modifies the second VCM control signal to generate a modified second VCM control signal.
