Preferably, a click will be generated by an electronically, or mechanically, timed source in order to be stable. It can be from a metronome (a real mechanical one), or a computer, or even a synthesizer with the output of an LFO.
And yes, that click sound can be used to "restart" the envelopes, just as if you were playing a note on the keyboard. Some Moog synthesizers have that option, often hardwired internally, where an LFO will make the synthesizer play notes repetitively automatically.
But with a modular, you have to connect the output of an LFO to the trigger input of envelopes in order to achieve this. But you also have to amplify that signal a lot in order for it to be "loud enough" to be used as a trigger signal, since trigger pulses are usually in the +5 V range. And Moog Modular also uses two trigger systems, a positive pulse one, and an S-Trigger one (short to ground). In that case you need a Pulse to S-Trigger converter to use the signal.
