  In order to increase the current in the ESRF storage ring we have developed a set of multibunch feedback systems aimed at fighting longitudinal and transverse coupled bunch instabilities. The longitudinal feedback (LFB) has been the first system installed and tested. It was designed using the scheme developed at SLAC, ALS and INFN Frascati: bunch by bunch processing of a beam phase error signal and correction using a low Q kicker driven by a QPSK modulator. However, we took advantage for this development of the latest available technology for the signal processing electronics with high resolution, high sampling rate ADC and DAC, and FPGA DSP, as well as for the FPGA programming environment. It allowed us to substantially reduce the complexity: the algorithm runs on a single processor, the kicker requires only 200W of RF power to control a 6GeV beam, and the implementation took only about one year. We will describe the main features of our LFB and present the results already achieved in the damping of instabilities driven by our RF cavity HOM. We will also report on the status of the transverse feedback, which is being built up using the same FPGA system as the longitudinal one.
