    Each track in SONAR provides an FX bin. Right-click in the FX bin area and choose an effect from the menu to apply it to that track.

    You can add a "track" fx as Scott says above.  For reverb, you can add it to your track bin or send the sax to a bus and add the reverb there (along with other tracks). 

    A little backwards reverb on the sax is really nice, too and I've used that on some smokey blues jazz stuff.  You have to record just the reverb on a separate track and then use the audio option to reverse the track.  Many times you have to adjust the backwards reverb in the timeline.  It is a little harder to do when you are starting to learn, but is something you can work up to.

    Ps.  you are talking about adding an effect to a sound from your question.  Those are reverbs, delays, compression etc.  A sound effect is different.  If you wanted to add farting noises to your sax, that would be a sound effect.  It may seem picky and is no big deal, but as all arts/jobs the terminology is important.  Have fun.
