I would recommend programming a custom solution using Pure Data (PD).
You can use RAM buffers for the recording and playback. PD has an
internal timekeeping system so you can set a timeout for the default
messages. PD is cool because it's a graphical language based on boxes
and patch cords, so you don't need to memorize very much syntax.
