I've heard that it's a bit easier because the birch bends more then mdf, it wont just crack

Tcab did/does it iirc. same concept as the mdf, make relief cuts and bend then fill the gaps with some woodglue and sawdust.

on 3/4" birch ply, how high do i set the blade, and where/how far apart do i cut?

That all depends on how much of an angle you want it to have.
