Using Alternate Input Connectors; Setting An Alternate Input Connector For Each Input Channel - Roland M-5000 Reference Manual

Using Alternate Input Connectors

You can set three types of input connectors for input channels
--- IN, ALT (alternative), and TR (track) --- and switch between these
according to the circumstances and application.
Currently specified input connectors among IN, ALT, and TR are
displayed in purple.
Usage Example 1) A backup microphone is specified for main
vocals. The main mic is set to IN and the backup mic to ALT. This
application allows a critical input to switch to a new source instantly
with no patching required.

Usage Example 2) Recording is performed on a multi-track recorder,
and at rehearsal the following day, the recording data is played-
back to the M-5000 and mixed. The recording mic is set to IN and
the output from the multi-track recorder is set to TR. IN and TR are
switched together. This example is ideal not only for easy multi-
channel recording but also for soundchecks and training.
