Echo, reverb, and delay are all subsets of just one function -- taking
the original sound and repeating it at correct intervals... They are pretty
easy to implement, it simply involves taking your waveform, feeding it
to a function, mixing in the sound, and progress with lower and lower levels
back into the function.

There is a book "Musical Applications of Microprocessors" published in 1985,
which goes over the basic ways to modify sound. It's a bit outdated (!) now
with all the DSP and other neat digital tools available, but it covers the
basics quite well... I think it is published by Hayden Books.

(Now if you had a Mac, I would just direct you to any sound editing program,
where that stuff is pretty standard... Effects, filters, other neat tools...)
