You won’t see a channel in Motion FX View or Context View unless you select the display flag of a CHOP (e.g. Wave CHOP).
CHOPs no longer have Audio flags. Export flag is the second one on the left.

Neither Particle View or /Part any longer exists.
When you go into a popnet, you find a basic popnet setup (See the screen capture below).
Scene View shows you particles.
In the popnet, in the POP Source named “souce first_input”, Use First Context Geometry is selected as Geometry Source by default. Collision is handled in a different way now (i.e. a collision object is turned into a static object). You won’t find Collision POP.
In POP Source “source_first_input”, in Attributes tab, selecting Add to inherited velocity as Initial Velocity and setting 0 1 0 as Velocity let particles shoot upwards.
Insert Gravity Force between popsolver and output.
