It's a special feature of the Waldorf Attack's oscillator section. From 
the manual:

"The  Crack  Modulator  was  designed especially for creating hand clap 
sounds. Technically it is an amplitude  modulation  using  a  sawtooth 
waveform.  The  speed  and  the number of waveforms can be chosen. After 
transmitting its intended modulation, the Crack Modulator resumes 
emission of a constant signal. The Crack Modulator superimposes its 
effect on all other mixer signals (Oscillator 1 and 2, Ring Modulator)"

You can emulate it with a sawtooth or square wave LFO modulating 
amplitude, whose amplitude / modulation depth is controlled by an envelope.
