Here’s a three part video tutorial looking at some of the secrets of FM synthesis.
Brian Trifon, of Trifonic, offer his take on FM synthesis basics. His demos use Native Instruments FM8, but the concepts should work with other FM synths.

Absolute MUST SEE for anyone interested in synthesis IMO. Very good video's which clearly show you the basics.
Thanks for sharing this!
And as you said; all of these examples can be easily applied to other synths as well. My favorite is Operator in Ableton Live for example, everything except the dynamic envelopes is easily re-created. Note that Operator also has options to dynamically influence the envelope. For that you need to check up on your routing section as well as the envelope page for the oscillators you're working on.
Very good piece, keep 'm coming please! 🙂

Even if id' claim to understand how synthesis works, that again were two really great videos. Thanks Brian and keep on making such videos!

I am no newbie synthesist but I have struggled with my FM8. This just set me off in multiple directions and gave me so much confidence to get under the bonnet and program.
Highly recommended.
This is awesome, thanks for posting. I have been trying to learn about how to use FM8 for a long time and these videos will really help. I’m just about to go through them now.
