would like to know myself actually, for layering purposes... How do most people go about this?

Find someone who can play the pad in real life and record with a mic

I don't really understand why you'd even want to sample pads.

Lemme guess, in a warm room and then cut straight to lacquer, although possibly through a tape machine first? After all, that'll help to add more analogue right? Did you misunderstand the question? I don't think your proposal is very doable...

If We were using live or cubase say, would you play the keyboard then render each note to disk? How far apart should the notes be at a maximum? How much pitch/time stretching can something like kontakt handle, more important, is there a quicker way than rendering each note individually?

Oh by the way mr mystery, to answer your question, its often helpful to layer pads, this increases CPU load, also pads usually have a long release leading to more polyphony, hence also more CPU load. So it does help I think, we just gotta find a quick way to do it!

How to sample pads?

Records them. Solo the channel and render the audio coming out of the vst. I really don't understand why it should be so hard, or why this even should be asked...

Just put in the chords you want and records them, don't do multisampling shit, too mucht work. Just make sure you record the vst how you like it and then record and you're good to go.

And if you still want to be flexible, look into freezing channels then, thats way more cpu efficient than sampling pads and then load a new vst to play them. And it's less work too.

You do know the difference between sampling synths and bouncing tracks right? Unless you have 3 note melodies you'll need to get into multisampling.

It's too much work. Simple.
I'd rather use the synth, and freeze the channel if I had to.
You keep the flexibility to change it all, and yet you don't have the cpu load
