Summer is officially here and so are the sales -- Arturia has announced two limited-time offers for purchases of any of Arturia's virtual synthesizers or for a purchase of V Collection 2.

The first offer is a two-for-one deal in which buying one software synthesizer will land you another one absolutely free. The special deal applies to all virtual synths, including Moog Modular V, CS-80V, Minimoog V, Prophet V, ARP2600 V, Jupiter-8V, Analog Factory, Brass, and The One. This might be the only time that you will actually get two things for buying The One.

Likewise, those who purchase the V Collection 2 will get $100 (or 100 EUR) off instantly at the time of purchase. Both of these offers will last from July 1 until August 31, 2010.

If you have been waiting for the right time to get a certain Arturia item, now would be a good time to get one -- or two -- depending on which offer you take.

The Two for One special applies to the following Arturia virtual instruments:

• Moog Modular V
• CS-80V
• Minimoog V
• Prophet V
• ARP2600 V
• Jupiter-8V
• Analog Factory
• Brass
• The One
