By "modulation or ADSR enveloping", I'm assuming you mean on the filter cut off, right? There'd be little point in doing that, since sine and triangle waves don't have much in the way of harmonics to filter out, it's mostly just the fundamental tone. Thus, sweeping the filter on a sine or triangle produces little or no effect, or at least, it's not nearly as dramatic as what you get with a more complex wave like a sawtooth or pulse wave.
Now, you could route a sine or triangle into a wave shaper, which adds harmonics to the waveform, but the Minimoog didn't have that either.
