I wonder where do you find information like this? E.g. how a reverd is made, how those electronic drum sounds from classic drum machines are made and so on? Is there something like a big catalogue of different tricks and algorithms?

Some stuff is around the web, some is from other people. Particularly for classic kit, someone's usually analysed it before, but it's not always in a good tutorial kind of form. I did a lot of messing around with audio/programming from my early teens onwards, so I have a good intuition about how the maths and sound link up.

A lot of this stuff can be made from relatively simple building-blocks though, and you don't have to copy a previous configuration. My thought process was pretty much exactly as written in the blog-post! I just wanted to make something which didn't require any special tuning skills.

This one, making reverbs, at least is taught in signal processing classes in EE courses
