I would suggest declaring cc as
byte cc = 0;
because that is the expected type for the control value:
[
void MIDI_Class::sendControlChange ( byte ControlNumber,
byte ControlValue,
byte Channel
)
16 (General Purpose Controller 1 ) looks like a reasonable choice of controller number. It is unlikely to be mapped to anything by default however.](Arduino MIDI Library: MIDI_Class Class Reference)
