NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2002

QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:QRSM) announced today that the Board of Directors officially elected Thomas A. Dolan as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Prior to joining QRS Music Technologies in 1994, Mr. Dolan served 5 years as a Sales Engineer for Johnson Controls, Irving, Texas. He started with Johnson Controls in 1988. Before joining Johnson Controls he left Motorola's Component Products Division, Franklin Park, Illinois, to earn an Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Arizona.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Administration and Economics from the Iowa State University in 1981.

The QRS Pianomation(R) system can turn any piano into a reproducing player piano. A hardware and software process can store and transport Musical Instrument Digital Interface ("MIDI") information as an analog signal. This process gives QRS the ability to store, and wirelessly transmit, MIDI performance data in an analog format from a controller (CD, video, cassette, DVD, DAT or Minidisc) to the receiver on the piano. This creates numerous possibilities. For example, most off-the-shelf audio equipment has a left and right channel available for use. State-of-the-art technology permits QRS to store the digital signal in an analog format on the left channel of the software which operates those players. This leaves the right channel available for live prerecorded audio music, even vocal recordings. Pianomation(R) blends them together in perfect harmony and perfect synchronization. The Pianomation(R) MIDI System is the first product of its kind to "marry" analog and digital technology.
