Definitely two different worlds. The peeps on electro-music.com made a G1 to G2 converter once, but it's mostly close, but not 100%.
The G2 has a lot more power, and is easier to make a patch...no need for master/slave oscillators, or always wiring up your keyboard to each envelope. It also has good MIDI modules, which the G1 didn't.
Also, the "G1" is only called a Nord Modular, while the G2 is the Nord Modular G2. The first gen came in a short keyboard w/ 18 pots, a rack with 18 pots, or the micro modular, practically a guitar pedal. The G2 camein 37 keyboard with a totally different interface that used encoders with LEDs and displays, a larger keyboard (and extra mod wheels), or a rack (which has no interface beyong a power button).
