Well not really, some gates can do that, but it's not usual. Usually the
gate "gate" a signal when the same signal is below a threshold.
What you need is a sidechain input. I don't think there is such a plugin
for LADSPA, a stereo expander with sidechain input could do the job, but
the SE3 does not exist yet !!
