The invention relates to a hydraulic fluid power transmission comprising: actuator apparatus having a plurality of chambers, each of the chambers having a respective fluid driving surface configured to drive or be driven by hydraulic fluid therein; a discretised pressure control system configured to selectively connect one or more first chambers of the said plurality of chambers to one of a plurality of hydraulic fluid sources or sinks, at least two of the plurality of hydraulic fluid sources or sinks having different fluid pressures; a continuous pressure control system configured to control the pressure of hydraulic fluid, or a flow rate of hydraulic fluid, input to or output from one or more second chambers of the said plurality of chambers, the pressure or flow rate of the hydraulic fluid input to or output from the second chambers being thereby variable within a range of pressures or flow rates respectively; and a controller configured to control the discretised and continuous pressure control systems to thereby regulate a property of the actuator affected by the hydraulic fluid pressure in the said chambers.
