Default How to start learning how samples make sound?

Hi, I've read the JSFX guide but it doesn't explain how to manipulate samples (the 44100 voltages per second that represent sound).

I tried Googling "PCM book" and ended up with telecommunications engineering guides.

Reading the existing effects doesn't help either, they're too advanced.

Is there a tutorial or good introductory reference on this subject, so that I can learn to make simple effects, like filters? Something for musicians/programmers, not electronic engineers.

A filter is not really a simple effect, at least, not to a mathematical philistine like myself, but this guide may help:

Thanks all, after much reading and evaluating I think this is probably the best most comprehensive resource: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php...615A065CF9D4BA
