What are some?
I know the Sound Blaster Pro drivers come with a custom Voyetra driver that has the option to use different timbres. Fortunately it's compatible beyond a SB Pro.

Woot for port 388

Vibra CT2890's drivers are voyetra-based and I recall being able to do that, at least on Win95.

I seem to remember a Sound Blaster 2.0 driver that isn't Voyetra. I have Sound Blaster Pro and Sound Blaster 16 drivers which are both Voyetras. Not all Sound Blaster Pro drivers are Voyetra, as I have one which doesn't appear to be Voyetra. It's called "Creative Sound Blaster Pro MIDI Synthesizer".

One thing I don't get is that different Windows 3.x FM drivers sound different while the Windows 9x FM drivers all sound the same (at least they do on my computer with an AWE64 Gold).
