MIDI questions

What specifically does a MIDI interface or MIDI modulator do? I'm guessing that it's a translator from the keyboard or whatever to the computer. Also, has anyone tried using MIDI converter cables that plug into the keyboard and then into the computer in the sound card? I'm running cakewalk and i can't get MIDI to work. Any answers would be very helpful.
Thanks, Max

MIDI interfaces

Hi. I have a sound interface for my PC that only has one MIDI input, like most of the ones I've seen on the market. Basically what i want to do is have two external MIDI controllers(one for keys, the other for knobs) control an audio application on my PC. How do I solve this problem?
