A seismic vibrator for shaking the ground is driven by an input sweep signal. A control signal, which is a function of the output force level of the vibrator, modulates the sweep signal to limit the output force level to a value that will prevent ground decoupling. At the beginning of a sweep, an adaptive preset signal over-rides the control signal during a desired initial time portion of the sweep signal. The preset signal for a given sweep is derived from a sample of the control signal that existed during a specified portion of an immediately previous sweep.
